Nelson Maniscalco works with real bones from small animals to create scaled down interpretations of the prehistoric creatures. Through a painstaking process of modeling, molding and casting each bone in bronze, he explores the relationship between art and science. In 1994 he created a commemorative bronze skeletal dinosaur series for exhibition and sale at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City. Maniscalco is professor of art at Cedar Crest College.
