1930-2010
BORN IN
Milford, Ohio

Indian sculpture, figure-sketches
Sculpting in stone, he completed his first work in 1962 and a decade later was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America. He strives to capture the spirit of the persevering American in his work, and his monumental sculpture, Out of the Mystic Past was the first outdoor sculpture installed at the Cowboy Artists of America Museum in Kerrville, Texas.
He grew up in Ohio, where he went to art school for a short time but before becoming a professional artist, White served in the Marines, played semi-pro football and worked in insurance sales.
He discovered his love for sculpting in stone after a trip to Colorado and moved to Loveland in the late 1970s.
