I was born in the great state of New Mexico , "The Land of Enchantment" in 1958. My family roots reside in Rio Arriba County . At a very young age my family made its way to Nebraska where the call to duty with the United Nations summoned my father to work in Ankara Turkey . The better part of my childhood was spent immersed in this remarkable third world culture.  A brief exposure to the world of sculpture came during a one-hour summer art program offered to my daughters' fourth grade class through the local school district. Although very intrigued by the little clay sculpture head that I had created, my potential would lie dormant for the next six years.

I am grateful for the encouragement at the ripe old age of 42 to explore the beauty of bronze sculpture once again. Support into this endeavor from friends and family has been gracious and very much appreciated. To all of them I say "Thank you".

My most recent work has brought an interest into the expressive sculpture of Native American and western life. As an Albuquerque resident my hope is for this work to be a start into a rewarding future in the world of bronze sculpture.  Please be sure to visit my personal website: timgiffordbronze.com
