Bob Scriver

A sculptor who carried on the realistic, storytelling tradition of Frederic Remington and Charles Russell, Bob Scriver was born on the Blackfoot reservation in Montana. Many of his life-long companions were from that tribe, and many of his works captured the frenzied action of cowboys and Indians and the animals they either rode or chased.

His education began in Browning, Montana and he ultimately earned a Master’s Degree in Music and then taught public school in Browning and Malta. He also played in professional bands across the Northwest and Canada before turning to taxidermy in 1951. He used those skills in his job of developing the Museum of Montana Wildlife in Browning.
