Tolley Marney

Art Brokerage: Tolley Marney American Artist: Tolley Marney is an authentic American cowboy artist. It's not often that a real working cowboy is able to become an artist. The cowboy life doesn't usually include art training or even the opportunity, but sometimes, life and talent merge in mysterious ways and magic happens. Tolley is one of those cowboys who have found artistic magic. The heritage skills that are part of the true cowboy life, like shoeing horses and fixing most anything on a ranch led Tolley to focus on traditional blacksmithing. Tolley's technical expertise as a blacksmith and farrier (horseshoer), combined with modern metal working techniques gives his art the integrity of his singular artistic vision. The results are beautiful sculptures of horses. Steel transforms under the blows of his hammer into fluid and twisting lines and shapes that combine to form iconic images of the western horse Listings wanted.
