Bud began sculpting 30 years ago, and has become a premier western artist. The love of the history of the west, his heritage as a Shoshone Indian, and his ability to bring life to the bronze through his use of action and emotion make his sculptures live.
Bud's perspective as an artist is depicted through many renditions of western life, Indian scenes of battle, escape, heroism of the warriors of America, cowboys, and the wildlife are a vital part of Wyoming. His Christian art is a work of love, depicting many scenes from the Bible and making many stories three-dimensional. The subject of each of his works is carefully studied and researched, then hand sculpted to present an authentic, as well as aesthetic piece of art.
Bud has won several awards from invitational shows such as the Heard Museum, Phoenix, AZ; the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, Gallup, NM; and the Death Valley 49'ers Encampment Invitational Art Show, Death Valley, CA. In 1995, the Wyoming Governor's Award honored his work for Art. His sculptures are in Israel, Spain, Mexico, Japan, and throughout the United States.
Bud Boller is an enrolled member of the Shoshone Indian Tribe, was born in 1928, and now resides on a ranch in the Wind River Reservation near Dubois, Wyoming.

A native of Lander, Wyoming, Deak Dollard began an interest in art at a young age. From as far back as he could remember he has always held a pencil in his hand. In his earlier years, Deak would run in the mountains and fields observing and drawing the things he saw and could only imagine.
Deak attended Lander’s public schools as well as the Wind River Indian Reservation schools. He experienced two separate cultures and gained a great respect for the Shoshone and Arapahoe people. He learned their perspective on life and saw the cruel hardships of the reservation. In his high school years he worked at a local bronze foundry learning the lost wax method of casting. It was here where he found his passion- sculpture.
He began studying other artist’s work, and borrowing the elements and principles of design that most inspired him. Deak began casting, and selling his own work until he began college. Although college allowed him to further study art, it also took him away from the foundry and his work. Deak’s bronze sculpture was put on hold, while his studies continued.
Deak earned an Associates of Art degree from Northwestern Community College in Powell, Wyoming in the spring of 1995. He then later accomplished his Bachelors of Science degree in Art Education fromChadron State College- Chadron, Nebraska in the fall of 2000. During college Deak also wrestled on the college wrestling teams.

Scott Nickell is an unlikely combination of geophysicist and artist. Thanks to a birthday gift of sculpting lessons from his wife, Marsha, he has discovered his true calling. When viewing a Nickell Indian bronze, one will notice the authenticity of the dress, shirt, moccasins and other trappings. Nickell is especially interested in Native American beadwork, which he takes incredible pains to duplicate from actual artifacts, including painting each bead by hand on a finished bronze.After studying artifacts from museums and private collections, Nickell adorns his proud sculptures, which range from 24-inch figures to two-thirds life size, with all the appropriate accoutrements for their tribe and lifestyle. His collection of Native American men and women, cowboys and cowgirls proves the meticulous attention that has been given to the detail of the figures. Researching for an average of one month per sculpture allows Nickell to achieve the incredible likenesses of his bronzes to actual living beings in our past. These pieces are certainly a valuable contribution to both the art world and the heritage of America.
