Biography
Dave McGary, born 1966 at Cody, Wyoming, USA. American artist, who's becoming a living legend among contemporary artists of the American West. He is considered the Master of Realism depicting Native American Indians. Dave was born the son of a ranching family in. As a teenager, he was one of four students in the United States awarded a grant to study anatomy and the bronze-making process with master craftsmen in Italy. After returning to America in 1978, Dave spent the next three years working at a bronze foundry, developing his own style and techniques. In 1981, Dave opened his own foundry and finishing facility in the southern mountains of New Mexico. His ability to capture the human spirit knows no equal, and his attention to detail in form and historic content are exhilarating.
