Greg Woodard has been known as a carver, a sculptor and a falconer. He’s worked with wood, clay, bronze, and concrete. And he’s created everything from eagles and buffalo to cowboys and past presidents. “I like adventure,” Woodard admits. “Not many of my pieces are like the last.”
One of his recent pieces is a sculpture representing President Ulysses S. Grant and the $50 bill. It’s a concrete column with Grant’s head at the top and then the words on the bill depicted almost like petroglyphs below. Woodard calls it a totem, in part because it represents the importance that money has in our lives.

1.5 Life Size
“What a dream it was to be commissioned to do this life-and-a-half-size figure. I dive into the character of my subjects the way an actor does. I feel the piece; I see the figure in my head, and I wake six months later.”
