Dave McGary - United States

Art Brokerage: Dave McGary American Artist: b. 1958-2013. Born in 1958, Artist Dave McGary grew up in Cody, Wyoming, the son of a ranching family. At age 16, McGary headed to Pietrasanta, near the Carrara Alps in Italy, where he worked in a foundry by day and on his own sculpture at night for a year and a half. Returning to the United States in 1976, he went to work for Shidoni Foundry, then moved from Santa Fe to the Hondo Valley in southern New Mexico where he ultimately built his own foundry outside Ruidoso, NM. The connection to Native American culture through his friendship with Daniel Long Soldier is one way that McGary's art stands apart from other contemporary interpretations of Native American culture. Though he immersed himself in history books and other means of study, it was his connection to Native American culture that brought life to each figure. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
