Gary Cooley is a world-renowned artist whose unparalleled talent has brought Western and Wildlife art to the forefront of international recognition. Acclaimed for the sensitivity and insight with which he approaches his subjects, few sculptors or painters can compare with his genius in combining universal beauty, aesthetic elegance and absolute realism.

In his youth, inspired by the western lands on which he and his family lived and played, Gary studied painting and photography. His true artistic calling – sculpture – was not revealed to him until mid-life. It is a testimony to his indisputable genius that the fame he has achieved as a sculptor is through the creative application of a discipline which is predominantly self-taught.

Gary has twice received the honor of being named “Artist of the Year” by Safari International. His pieces grace collections throughout the world, thus promoting an international appreciation of and exposure to North American and African wildlife.
