Richard Burke

Douglas, Wyoming

Richard Burke currently lives and works in Douglas, Wyoming. Considered a self-taught artist, he draws inspiration from the landscapes and wildlife of the American West. In recent years, Richard has focused on sculpting birds of prey in various types of stone. Each piece aims to convey the essence of the bird, with minimal manipulation to the natural surface. Only the head is intricately worked to capture the species’ identifiable characteristics. His work has been exhibited in Birds in Art since 2022 and has been included in the National Sculpture Society’s Annual Awards Exhibition in 2024 and 2025. His work can be found in public places in Pinedale and Sheridan, Wyoming.
