Walks in Beauty

John Coleman (b. 1949) emerged as a significant force in American sculpture after beginning his formal studies at the Art Center for Design in Los Angeles. His exceptional talent earned him membership in the prestigious National Sculpture Society of New York in 1999, marking the beginning of a remarkable professional ascent.

Coleman’s masterful exploration of Western themes culminated in his invitation to join the renowned Cowboy Artists of America in 2001, cementing his position among the nation’s foremost sculptors. His prolific creative process, maintaining multiple works-in-progress simultaneously, allows him to consistently contribute fresh perspectives to the contemporary Western art dialogue through several new editions each year.

“Art is putting a spiritual face on a historical idea. It has to be a metaphor, so that the viewer can understand it. It has to be the viewer’s story, not yours.”   –John Coleman
