Doug Roper Sculptor

My art is an intricate part of who I am and reflects my view of the present and the past. As a person of strong faith I believe my talent is a gift from God, and strive for perfection in my life as well as my work. I have divided my work into three categories; Western, wildlife, and some commissioned works. Enjoy your visit to my galleries and don't hesitate to contact me if you require any further information. Working as a commercial artist prepared me to be able to transform a client’s idea into a three-dimensional reality. It’s extremely important to listen carefully when doing a commissioned sculpture in order to recreate a moment or person in time and accurately represent the thoughts and memories of the client. I try to capture the essence and spirit of the person or animal depicted and always strive for historical and anatomical accuracy in my work. I have done numerous commissions for individuals, churches, businesses, and the military. I am currently doing a sculpture for the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
