Additional Information
A chance encounter with painter and sculptor Harry Jackson in Wyoming had a profound effect on the teen-aged Dave McGary. He had already been casting his own jewelry when he met Jackson, who would become McGary’s mentor and teacher, as well as his instructor during a two-year course in Italy. Back in the United States, McGary started his own studio in New Mexico, where he would make highly detailed, polychrome bronze sculptures. “[His] works…all serve as links from the past to the present and into the future,” writes Michael Duty in Dave McGary: American Realism in Bronze — A Twenty Year Retrospective. “They offer the view and collector a way of understanding another culture.”
