Since beginning his career in 1980, Eugene Morelli has exhibited his sculpture in many of the most prestigious galleries and shows in the country. In 2002 Eugene Morelli’s work became part of the permanent collection of The White House in Washington, D.C. The Governor of Montana at that time, the Honorable Judy Martz, asked Eugene and his wife Joan to create a unique sculpture for The White House and represent Montana in an exhibit entitled “All Things Great and Small”. They created a life-sized flying Western Meadowlark that is now part of the permanent collection of The White House. They received a personal invitation from First Lady Laura Bush to attend a reception. Being a guest at The White House will undoubtedly remain a highlight in their memories.
