The Artist
Lloyd Goldwire was born and raised among the rugged canyons and open vistas of West Texas. His sculpture is inspired by rock art paintings and petroglyphs found on his family ranch and throughout the Trans-Pecos and Big Bend regions. The "shaman" sculptures he creates in bronze are an attempt to interpret in three-dimensions what early medicine men and women might have thought that they looked like - part human, part animal - during their peyote-induced "journeys".
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and his art and design work have won several awards through the years. He is a designer of home decor as well as bronze awards for various cook-off events.
