"Born in northern Wisconsin in 1942, Gerald Balciar's art is noted for its readily identifiable artistic style which is grounded in an in-depth knowledge of animals. Balciar is involved in the creative process of bronze making from beginning to end.  He works his original sculpture in wax or clay and then personally makes his own molds and chases his own waxes.  Once the bronze is cast at the foundry, he does the welding and metal chasing and then applies the patina and finishing touches to each bronze.

Gerald is a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society, and a member of the Society of Animal Artists, Allied Artists of America and Northwest Rendezvous Group. He has won numerous awards, including nine from the National Sculpture Society, and is listed in Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who in The West, and the Dictionary of American Sculptors.  He has taught at the Scottsdale Artists School, Art Students League of Denver and Loveland Academy of Fine Arts.  

Balciar's most prestigious award is the Prix de West received in 1985 from the National Academy of Western Art at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City for his graceful marble, River Companions. Balciar resides with his wife, Bonnie, and their three children in Parker, Colorado."
