Bio:
Bob Scriver was born in 1914 on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation at Browning, Montana. His parents were Anglophones from Quebec who operated the Browning Mercantile Company. His upbringing amidst stories from the blackfoot elders and the wild tales of the West from the frontiersmen, caused Scriver to have a rich collection of memories to draw from for the rest of his artistic life.
But early on his focus was music. After high school he studied music education at Dickinson State College in North Dakota, Vander Cook College of Music in Chicago, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and the University of Washington in Seattle. He then taught for many years at Browning High School and in the Montana Public Schools. He was the first-chair cornet in the Alaskan Division during WWII when he was stationed in Edmonton, Alberta. He also played in dance bands in the 1930-40s.But early on his focus was music.

He also played in dance bands in the 1930-40s.
While studying at VanderCook, Scriver became interested in taxidermy from his frequent visits to the field museum of natural history in Chicago. By 1950 he gave up his teaching position to become a full-time taxidermist. He enjoyed the success he experienced in sculpting the animal forms for his taxidermy work and went on to experiment with other forms of sculpture. His entry into a competition to create a life-size statue of Charles M. Russell was not a winner, but made him realize his true calling. From then on he focused entirely on sculpting.
In 1961, Scriver opened his first exhibition at his studio in Browning. It was very successful and National recognition soon followed. In the mid-60s he opened his own bronze studio and by 1967 was casting his own series of rodeo characters. In the 1970s his focus was a series about the culture and traditions of the blackfeet people that he was so familiar with from his childhood on. This was the most successful of his sculpting work.
Beginning sculpting at the age of 46, he continued to create sculpture for the next nearly 40 years, becoming one of the country’s major chroniclers of Western history. He was awarded gold and silver medals by the Cowboy Artists of America and the National Academy of Western Art. He was a member of the National Sculpture Society, the International Art Guild, the Salmagundi Club and the Society of Animal Artists. From the late 1950s through the end of the twentieth century, visitors to the Glacier National Park area were treated to Bob Scriver’s “Museum of Montana Wildlife and Hall of Bronze” where he housed a huge collection of taxidermy, dioramas depicting big game and many bronzes depicting the Blackfoot culture and professional rodeo cowboys. Following his death in 1999, his widow Lorraine presented this huge collection to the Montana Historical Society. The pieces are today divided between the Provincial Museum in Edmonton, Alberta and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in Missoula, Montana. Scriver’s work is also in the collections of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana and the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta as well as numerous private collections including several pieces for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

Monumental 80" Figurative Hand Carved Sculpture by Robert Brady
By Robert Brady 2
Located in Buffalo, NY
Robert Brady was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. Upon graduation from high school he attended the California College of The Arts in Oakland, Ca. receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1969. Later he attended University of California, Davis, receiving a Masters of Fine art in 1975. Recently retired Emeritus, he served as Professor of Art from 1975-2013 at California State University, Sacramento.
Trained as a potter, Brady’s interest quickly steered toward a path of ceramic object making and sculpture, ultimately gaining national and international recognition. Approximately 24 years later, Brady, fortuitously discovered the beauty and merits of wood as a sculptural medium. Since then, Robert has produced work in both clay and wood, with an emphasis on wood. Mixed media, bronzes, works on paper and functional pottery are also part of his output.
Brady has had over 50 solo exhibits and participated in many group exhibitions throughout the United States, and Europe, both in private galleries and public Museums. His works can be found in permanent collections in galleries and museums such as The Smithsonian (Renwick), The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock, and the Stedelijik Museum in Amsterdam, Holland, as well as others. Lastly, his work is found in private collections too numerous to mention.
He has received three National Endowment Individual Artist...
