Grizzly 399 And Cubs – 10 inches high
The Red Piano Art Gallery is thrilled to feature the remarkable work of sculptor Sandy Scott, an acclaimed artist renowned for her dynamic and lifelike representations of animals. Beginning her career with sporting scene etchings in the 1970s, Scott transitioned to sculpture in the early 1980s, quickly earning recognition for her ability to capture the grace, motion, and essence of wildlife. Her work, whether depicting soaring eagles, lumbering bears, or elegant dogs, reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world that stems from her upbringing with a father who was an avid outdoorsman. Today, Scott works from her studio in Wyoming, where she transforms her observations into stunning bronze creations that celebrate the beauty of wild creatures.
A perfect example of Scott’s talent and passion is her recent work honoring Grizzly 399, one of the most famous bears in the world. This 8-foot bronze statue, unveiled in Jackson, Wyoming, pays tribute to the iconic grizzly bear known for her resilience and status as a symbol of wildlife conservation. Featured in Cowboy State Daily, the sculpture showcases Scott’s exceptional ability to combine artistry with accuracy, capturing the majesty and spirit of Grizzly 399. The statue stands as a testament to Scott’s lifelong dedication to wildlife art and her ability to tell powerful stories through her work. It’s no surprise that her work resonates with collectors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
Scott’s creative process begins with meticulous observation, often using her camera to photograph animals in their natural habitats. This dedication ensures that her sculptures are not only artistically compelling but also true to the spirit and anatomy of her subjects. Whether it’s a proud rooster or a graceful wolf, Scott’s pieces convey a sense of motion and vitality that brings her creations to life. Each bronze sculpture tells a story, inviting the viewer to connect with the wild world that inspires her.
