Bud has lived on the Wind River Indian Reservation most of his life and has been a professional artist for more than forty years. His love of life in the mountains, the traditions of the west, and his heritage as a Shoshone Indian have influenced his drawings, paintings and sculptures. Bud's attention to research and detail in the subject he sculpts produces authentic renditions: scenes of mountain men, Indian scenes of the battle, escape, warriors and heroism. Bud continues to sculpt, draw and paint at his home on Red Creek in the Wind River Mountains, near Dubois Wyoming.
