$2,400.00 • How do you know when a work of art is finished? I move my designs around until I feel I have exhausted all possibilities. I try to get away from the piece for awhile. I come back with a fresh eye and, if I feel I have explored everything, I call it done. • What is your favorite art-making tool? I really do not have a favorite too; just the normal wire looped sculpting tools. • What is your preferred subject to create? I do not have a favorite subject matter, just animals in general. Sometimes I approach a piece from a different angle. I pick subject matter to fit a design I have in mind. Tim Cherry grew up in the Canadian Rockies, where he developed a love of wildlife and the outdoors. At age 19, he worked with taxidermist Forest Hart, who specialized in sculpting mannequins. For years, Cherry was a guide in the far northern reaches of Canada. Inspired by these experiences, he developed his unique and dynamic approach to animal sculpture. In 1988, he worked with various sculptors in Loveland, Colorado, including Fritz White, learning the sculptural process that would become his life work. He has won a number of esteemed awards, including a Gold Medal from the National Sculpture Society, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s James Earl Fraser Sculpture Award.
