Chris Navarro has been sculpting professionally since 1986. He is best known for his large, monumental bronze sculptures of wildlife, Native American, western, and inspirational subjects and has more than 30 works placed throughout the United States. Perhaps one of his most beloved sculptures is Champion Lane Frost, a 15-foot bronze of the world champion bull rider Lane Frost, placed at the Cheyenne Frontier Day Rodeo grounds in Wyoming.Chris, a resident of Casper, Wyoming, is a former bronc and bull rider and still competes in team roping. Family, horses, rodeo, and art have been the driving forces of his life. His aim is to inspire others with his artwork and story. When Chris started sculpting at 23, he had only a desire and a dream.Having been a professional artist for more than 30 years, his work, talent, and story are proof that art remains a lifelong struggle."It is a myth that an artist's success depends on finding the right gallery or art agent," says Chris. "There are no overnight successes in the art world." Art requires passion, taking chances, knocking on doors, and remaining dedicated even when others don't believe.
