Art Brokerage: Fred Boyer American Artist: Fred Boyer has traveled the world but he has remained close to his roots in Anaconda Montana where he grew up, went to high school and went on to major in art education at Montana State University in Bozeman. His family recognized Fred's artistic talents early. "I was always painting or drawing" he says, crediting an aunt, whom he considered an accomplished artist, as an inspiration. From early on, his family encouraged him to develop his talents.nAfter graduating from college, he went to Sitka, Alaska where he taught art in the public schools, and worked as a hunting guide in the summers. He loves Alaska, but Montana kept calling him back home. He returned to Montana and taught art in the public schools for 14 years. "Teaching art is a learning experience for the teacher as well as the student" he says, recollecting his years in the education profession. Although Boyer studied sculpture in college, he didn't get really serious with sculpture until he had been teaching for 5-6 years. Fred Boyer's bronze wildlife sculptures have won awards and recognition worldwide. A Living Legend sculptor, Boyer's work depicts nature frozen for a moment in time, portraying life in the wild as simple and ruthless, majestic and pure. Listings wanted.
