Tim Cherry - Bronze Sculptor

"Tim Cherry produces sculptures that not only attract the viewer's eye but also the viewer's hand. Growing up in Nelson, a town located among the rugged Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia, Cherry developed a love of wildlife and the outdoors. Escaping into the wilds was then, and still is, a spiritual experience for Cherry.

At age 19, Cherry contacted taxidermist Forest Hart, who welcomed him to his workshop in Hampden, Maine. Hart specialized in sculpting mannequins, the artificial bodies used by taxidermists. As a student, Cherry's hand and mind became skilled in modeling animals' musculature. He sculpted models for the production process in taxidermy, while learning animal anatomy from the inside out.

In 1988, while Cherry was still living in Canada, he met a noted sculptor Dan Ostermiller, who invited him to visit his studio in Loveland, Colorado. 'Ostermiller gave me the opportunity to begin my career,' Cherry said.

At the age of 25, he gained membership in the Society of Animal Artists and five years later, he was elected to membership in the National Sculpture Society and the National Sculptors Guild.

In 2001, Cherry won the James Earle Fraser Sculpture Award at the Prix de West Invitational and also a Bronze Medal from the National Sculpture Society.

In a profile in Art Of The West, Cherry said, 'Animals have personalities that make me smile and that is what I try to convey through my work.' The article noted, 'Tim Cherry's sculptures have the power to take viewers on a magical jouney, transporting them into the whimsical world of his imagination.'"
