The Alaska Museum of Science and Nature in Anchorage has several of Havens' life-size artworks on display.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - James Havens has been the Alaska dinosaur artist for the past 10 years, creating works of art that illustrate the prehistoric creatures that roamed the earth before humans.
It’s set in the Denali area. The summit of the mountain rises in the background beneath a peek of clear blue sky. A golden eagle sits in the foreground on top of a fossilized dinosaur skull — not unlike that of Tyrannosaurus rex — entombed in the face of a rock formation gilded with yellow lichen. Below the eagle the land forms a valley bottomed by two converging streams, and on their eastern edge a crop of evergreen trees stretch towards the sky.
