Mill Creek Studios

Mill Creek Studios located in Mentone, California started in 1989 and one of their first artists was Stephen Herrero whose talent and imagination inspired his success. Over the years, other artists have created collectible art for Mill Creek Studios. The original artwork is sculpted by the artist. Molds are made from these originals, and then hand-cast using a resin and wood flour emulsion or resin and actual stone powders. Finished castings are inspected for quality before being submitted to painting, where acrylic washes and stains are applied by hand. Today much of what is offered by Mill Creek studios consists of a wildlife theme. This artwork is so realistic you expect it to move. Move is exactly what it does, into the homes and offices of collectors like yourself. Sculptures retail from around $50 to several hundreds dollars each. A number of them are limited edition and cover such subjects as elk, wolves, eagles, puma, bison, bear and many others, including Native American offerings. Mill Creek Studios, made in America.

Lance Domonoske

As a young man in the 1970's Lance traveled to Alaska in search of adventure, and never left. He became a hunter, fishing guide, and later, an accomplished artist. The antler of moose and caribou were the principal medium he used to portray his art.

Daniel R. Monfort

Born in 1942, Daniel Raymond Monfort grew up, attended college, and studied the arts in the Bretagne region of France. Mr. Monfort's potential for drawing was exhibited at an early age, and eventually stories of the American Far West became the vehicle by which he expressed his artistic talents. His fascination with Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and other prominent Western heroes overshadowed his interest in great European historical figures.

As an art student at Quimper, and later at Nantes, Mr. Monfort found the structured academics of the French schools frustrating and disappointing. His interest was in western art, yet his instructors emphasized a disciplined curriculum of abstract forms, colors, and composition. But, he learned that talent alone was not enough, and now realizes those years of strict instruction were necessary and, in the long run, beneficial.

In 1964, while reproducing famous paintings with colored chalk on the sidewalks of Nice, to help finance his studies, he met the late Dutch artist Van Dongen. Impressed by Mr. Monfort's work, Van Dongen prompted him to pursue his abilities.

Mr. Monfort moved to New York City, hoping to become an illustrator of books. While his drawings and caricatures were always well received, sales were rarely realized. The following years were spent traveling in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

His fascination with the West never waning, Mr. Monfort moved to Denver in 1972, bringing with him his wife and two children. He quickly established a solid reputation as a sculptor of fine Western art.

Today, Mr. Monfort's work is recognized the world over.  Thousands of people from all walks of life own a Monfort Original. Many are collectors, for his sculptures are the finest of their type, and are sold at very affordable prices.
