CON WILLIAMS - Bronze Sculptor

The bronzes created by sculptor Con Williams exemplify the spirit of the people and animals that continue to shape the American West. Currently a full-time artist and charter member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Artist Association, Con says, "A good artist shapes with his heart, and gives his sculptures a voice. And a good sculpture speaks long after the artist is gone."

Uniting his appreciation for wildlife and the Western lifestyle with his artistic ability, Con has developed a style of sculpting that has won an international following.

He has recently achieved the honor of supplying Rodeo Trophy bronzes for six of the Calgary Stampede events during the years 2008-2013. The sculpture competition is held once every five years. Each statue depicts the rodeo event for which it will be the trophy. Eighteen trophies will be awarded over the next five years at the Calgary Stampede, and Con won six.

The Calgary Stampede is considered one of the premiere rodeos in the world. It has been dubbed “the greatest outdoor show on earth” and attracts more than one million visitors over its ten-day run.
