Although sculptor George Walbye is an artist who has spent his entire life in the Rocky Mountain West, his sculptures move beyond ordinary perceptions of Western Art.  Men and women of the historic and contemporary West are frequent subjects for his works.      Walbye is especially noted for his series of contemporary bowls and lidded pots which embody elements of American Indian art and ornamentation.

As Loveland's earliest bronze sculptor artist, Walbye continues to be a strong proponent and active participant in our expanding art community.   George was among the first  artists chosen by Loveland's High Plains Arts Council to install founding works in the nationally renowned Benson Park Sculpture Garden in Loveland, Colorado.  His bronzes are in private and corporate collections in Europe, Canada and the United States.          Artist's Statement:  "As a sculptor, I am intrigued by the beauty, strength and grace of all creatures from the human to the animal form.  Each has its own spirit and personality.  Capturing the essence of these attributes in my sculptures is always my primary and most challenging goal".
