Award-winning bronze sculptor Pamela Harr of Bridger Bronze Gallery in Glendive, Mont., is showcasing miniature versions of her life-sized sculptures for which she was commissioned to create for displays in Glendive and Fort Peck, Mont. She specializes in creating life-sized bronzes, children, and other monuments. "I love the sculptures I did for the Fort Peck Veterans' Memorial Park," she says. "I made a life-sized bugler and flag-covered casket. My first husband was killed in Vietnam, so I love to do tributes to veterans." Harr has been creating bronze art since 1970 and sharing her rare talent with art enthusiasts at Western Art Week for 45 years. "I met my (second) husband at Western Art Week in 1977," she says of her late husband, Harvey Raey. "He did bronze sculpting too and made traditional western sculptures." Raey was a member of the Lile Shell Band of Chippewa and portrayed images of his ancestry and the West in his art. ough Raey passed away in December 2015, Harr continues to showcase both of their artwork in the Wild Bunch Art Show. "Everyone pitches in to help set up and tear down," says Harr. "e show was always like a homecoming for us." Friendly artists greet visitors in a relaxed gallery-like atmosphere where their art is the focus in the Hampton Inn, located at 231 14th Street Southwest in Great Falls. Harr says she enjoys seeing visitors at the Wild Bunch Art Show. "I like the fact that people travel such long distances to come to the show," she said. "ey are enthusiastic about art, which gives the show a lot of energy."
