2006 Prix de West Collectors' Bolo: Yellowstone Legend by Sandy Scott

Sandy Scott, a longtime participant in the Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition & Sale, was invited to sculpt the 2006 Collectors' Bolo. She created the head of a grizzly with a soft brown patina.

Scott, who resides in Lander, Wyoming, and Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada, is on the teaching staff for the Scottsdale Artists School, Arizona, and the Loveland Academy of Fine Art, Colorado. She is a member of the National Arts Club, New York City. She was the featured sculptor at the National Center for the American Western Art Show in January 2004, in San Antonio, Texas, and also was the featured sculptor at the 2004 Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina.

Trained at the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri, Scott worked as an animation background artist for the motion picture industry before turning her attention to etching and printmaking in the 1970s and sculpture in the 1980s. Her monumental Eagle Of The Rock sculpture was recently installed at the entrance to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.

She participates in annual juried exhibitions including those at the Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, California; Northwest Rendezvous, Helena, Montana; and the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming, in addition to Prix de West.
