Clyde Ross Morgan

Clyde Ross Morgan's sculptures are nationally and internationally acclaimed, enjoyed in both private and public collections around the world.  Born in St. George, Utah in 1942, Morgan became a successful industrial designer. But he dreamed of becoming a sculptor.  In 1983, Morgan made the break and moved to the artists' community of Sedona, Arizona. He began creating bronze sculptures of subjects that have long held his fascination and often relate to his own personal experiences. As a professional river guide, Morgan's admiration for historical explorer John Wesley Powell inspired him to create "Sockdolager," a remarkably detailed and historically precise piece commemorating Powell's passage down the Colorado River in 1869.  In 1986, Morgan won the commission to create Utah's Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He also created a bronze statue for Arizona's Iraqi War Memorial.
