The American Bison or buffalo has been elevated to the stature of the American Bald Eagle as a national emblem of our great country. Under recent legislation the bison became the National Mammal of the United States due to its economic and cultural significance in the history of our great country.
Not long ago more than 60 million roamed North America but by 1890 their story almost ended with extinction. The iconic mammal’s largest population today resides in Yellowstone National Park – two hours from my Wyoming studio. While the bison has long been a favorite subject for my sculpture. It is more than an animal to me, it is an emotional manifesto that exemplifies my deep affinity for the West and its history.
