Jerry D. McKellar (Born 1944) "Otter Woman" Bronze Sculpture. Jerry was raised on Lake Chelan in north-central Washington and became very adept at skiing. In dental school at the University of Washington, he realized that he had skill with his hands because he could finish his lab work making gold crowns and other devices faster than most of his colleagues. In 1969, he graduated and served for two years as an Army dentist in Missouri. Borrowing some of his mother's equipment from an art class she was taking, McKellar began sketching and then working up detailed wildlife sketches on scratchboard. Now as a retired dentist, Jerry McKellar has been creating bronze sculptures since 1987 and in 1997 won the "Best Sculpture/People's Choice" and "Artists' Choice Awards" at the C.M. Russell Show. His primary focus is native Americans, although early in his sculpting career, he focused on wildlife. Artist: Jerry D.
