About the Artist:

Joe Eggert's artwork in bronze portrays the spirit of the American West and celebrates the cowboy way of life. An avid horseman and a native of San Diego, California, Joe grew up with a passion for the West and the cultures of the American Indian. He sketched and painted in his spare time but it was after retiring from 20 years in the restaurant industry that Joe discovered his talent in sculpting.

A self-taught artist, Joe's work reflects his own style and an unwavering attention to detail. He bought his first few blocks of clay in 1990 and worked long hours after coming home from his day job. In 1998 Joe realized his dream of sculpting full-time. Aside from sculpting, Joe likes to spend time working cattle with his friends, roping and playing golf. Joe and his wife, Debbie, enjoy their 4 horses and live in Pine Valley, California.
