Bob Burkhart is a fifth generation Montanan whose great-great-grandfather headed the first cattle drive from Texas to Montana, Bob Burkhart’s artwork is inspired by his life-long ranching background coupled with his experience in the rodeo arena, both as a participant and as a pro-official. Bob’s commercial foundry and gallery are located in Bozeman, where he and his wife, Gloria and their two children reside in a house that was an original stage stop on the Bozeman Trail.

His sculptures stem from varied life experiences which lend a unique authenticity to each individual piece. Although Bob’s bronzes range in subject matter, he specializes in genuine Western and wildlife images, with his rodeo sculptures highly sought after.

His sculptures have received many awards, some of which include a Silver Medal and a Gold Medal at the PRCAA International Art Show in Las Vegas; the Cattleman’s Award, best of show and best sculpture at the Omak Stampede. He has done commission pieces for Justin Boots, the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and US Smokeless Tobacco.

Bob is a PRCA Gold Card member and a CPRA member. He is currently one of the top PRCA judging officials.
