DONALD GRANT
As a full time artist, Don Grant
takes pride in the "used" look of his wagons and stage coaches. He started his art career in 1980. Don has no formal
art training, but has taken workshops along the way. His original works are created in hardwoods, polymer clay and wax.
Known for stagecoaches that are sculptured of wood, Don has expanded into the medium of bronze. With the added
skills he has learned through workshops in sculpting and painting, he now hand paints some of his bronzes. Many are put into
a natural setting.
Don's work is in the collection of the Wells Fargo Museum in San Francisco and many private
collections. He has been juried into the Pacific Rim Wildlife Show, the Vancouver International Wildlife Art Show in Canada,
and the Russell Art Auction.
Don has exhibited in shows in the Northwest. His art work is on display at the Glass Art
Shop in Great Falls, MT, the Creighton Block Gallery in Big Sky, MT.
