Sheldon Roberts is a modern-day 'Renainssance-mountain man.' Born and
raised in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies, Roberts' art reflects
the purity and simplicity of the enviroment that's surely helped
to shape his life. An accomplished professional musician as well, Mr.
Roberts uses all of his God-given talents, in expressing his love for
nature and all the living creatures around him.
He is a self-taught sculptor and painter. He has hewn wildlife
monuments out of giant bodies of centuries-old trees, and welded
metal and poured bronze in capturing the three dimensional imagery
of his vibrant imagination.
Much of his work has been incorporated into the structual designs
of some of Colorado's most beautiful mountain homes. His commissions
have included the huge carved doors, gates, beams and mantelpieces
that grace these extraordinary, high country dwellings. Artist Roberts
is proficient in all forms of handcrafted expression, but his first
love is sculpture.
