Greg Woodard

“I try to achieve a unique gesture in every piece, and I use the process that a piece goes through getting cast to my advantage. I’m very involved at the foundry. I chase the waxes and do every patina by hand.”

— Greg Woodard

Prescott, Arizona native Greg Woodard is a master falconer and has a deep passion for understanding the raptors he studies. He carries the love and knowledge from these powerful birds into his work. Woodard believes each of his pieces tells a story; he shows this through the interaction between human and animal, expressing how they are affected. Another important feature of Woodard’s work is the railroad track theme, which symbolizes the cultural impact of the opening of the West.

As a sculptor, his work is unique because of his patina process that allows each edition its own color and texture. He has always valued experimentation and innovation in order to further his artistic growth.
