Welcome

BOB STAYTON
November 11, 1928 – May 18, 2010

"The freedom to imagine and dream of the life of a cowboy and outdoorsman is exciting, but to have lived and experienced the life is exhilarating."

We want you to know that Bob passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Funeral services were held Thursday, May 27, 2010 at the Community United Methodist Church, 750 Electric Avenue, Bigfork, Montana 59911-3631, telephone: (406)-837-4547; bigforkcumc@gmail.com.

Bob will be greatly missed, as will his stories and the joy he created when he shared one of these true-life adventures with an entranced audience. At his core, Bob was a storyteller, and he captured many enduring stories through his bronze works.

If you find yourself in Bozeman, Montana, you can visit “Spirit” – the larger-than-life bronze Bobcat that Bob was commissioned to do by the Alumni of Montana State University. “Spirit” is located on the new Alumni Plaza on the Montana State University campus. Bob viewed this work, dedicated October 2009, as the pinnacle of his art career, and saw the commission to create it as the culminating honor of his life.

We will continue producing Bob’s artwork as long as we are able. The full series has not been produced for many works (usually 25 pieces): some new works have yet to be displayed on the website. So keep an eye on new postings, or ask about these works.

Let us know if we can help you obtain any information you need to satisfy yourself that a particular piece of Bob’s work is just right for you.

Warm Regards to all of you,
Bob’s Family

Artist and storyteller, Bob Stayton captures the American wilderness and the magic of the west in bronze sculpture. His sculptural portrayals are of personal experiences with the people and animals depicted and each is a story cast in bronze.

Of Welsh-Irish and Cherokee decent, Bob was raised on a small farm on the east front of the Rocky Mountains in Montana. His life was filled with the adventures a young boy can easily find in "Charlie Russell" country.

The influence of his early encounters with nature combined with his bold Celtic and sensitive American Indian heritage form the foundation upon which Bob's works are based. Bob's sculptures are imbued with a unique blend of form, balance, rhythm, color and style that brings to life the clear primitive beauty of each piece.
