Having grown up on the Alberta prairie, the young Rick Taylor learned of the joys of outdoor life. In 1971, Rick graduated from the University of Calgary. His B.Sc. in zoology laid the foundation for what would become his detailed understanding of the minutiae of the animal kingdom. After a four year stint working as a museum taxidermist and display artist he opened his own taxidermy studio and began his real apprenticeship for his future career in sculpture. It was by handling wildlife from every corner of the globe that he learned what he needed to know to become a wildlife sculptor of international stature.

The fund-raising activities of international organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International, Foundation for North American Wild Sheep and Trout Unlimited have benefitted financially from the hundreds of Rick Taylor bronze sculptures auctioned at fund-raisers around the world. Rick sees this as a way of doing his part on wildlife preservation and conservation.

Rick Taylor and fellow sculptor and wife, Carole Danyluk, own and operate their own gallery located in the picturesque and charismatic village of Kaslo, British Columbia, Canada, and is nestled in the Selkirk Mountain Range on the Kootenay Lake.

Good estate condition.
