Scott Scherer |
 Scott
Scherer was born and raised in Nebraska. Since he was a young boy
Scott has had a passion for the western outdoors and its wildlife.In September of 2002, Scott began to try his hand at sculpting clay and by the following summer he had his first piece cast in a foundry. His works are impressionistic, a style which he has always been drawn to. According to Scott, "I try to convey realistic action and proportion while at the same time trying not to get too weighed down by detail. I believe that sculptures should look good from every angle and so I look for different movements animals make and try to capture this with my camera or sketch pad before I sculpt it in clay." With his sculpture, Scott wants to remind people of the wildlife they have seen by providing a work of art that will preserve their memories for years to come. While Scott is mostly self-taught he does have an immense admiration for other wildlife sculptors. Perhaps Scott’s greatest artistic influence is from Gerald Balciar. Scott attended a workshop taught by Gerald Balciar at the Scottsdale Artist School in Arizona in March of 2004. In February 2005 Scott’s "High Above It All" placed third in the FNAWS (Foundation of North American Wild Sheep) Artist of the Year competition in San Antonio, Texas. Scott travels frequently throughout Wyoming and Colorado for inspiration. A few of his favorite places to study wildlife research are Custer State Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park. Scott currently lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota with his wife and two children. |
