Gerald Balciar

Parker, Colorado

A native of northern Wisconsin, Gerald Balciar portrays the gentle side of nature in his marble and bronze sculpture. In 1995, he carved an 18-foot sculpture of a cougar from a single piece of marble and installed it at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. He has sculptures in the collections of the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming; the Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas; the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; the Denver Zoo; the Oklahoma City Zoo; and Beaver Creek Resort in Avon, Colorado.
