Western Sculpture Artist Craig Bergsgaard – The West is a land of broad rivers and vast deserts, deep canyons and impenetrable mountains, boundless prairies and endless forests. A place where towering monoliths and boiling waters rise naturally from the earth.
It is landscapes and vistas that have to be seen to be believed, and often have to be believed to be seen. Ken Burns, PBS “The West”
These words resonate with me as an artist, as well as me personally.
My western sculpture has evolved into portraying the individual characters, fictional or otherwise, as the free spirits, adventurers, wanders and despots that made up the collective flavor of the period.
I simply, just love it …
My images primarily portray a lifestyle, that at times, focuses on the sacrifices they were willing to make or that were often forced upon them. I encourage you to visit my Sculpture Gallery to see what I see.
