Jim Stuckenberg was born in 1943

he has not let it stop him from accomplishing anything he wants. He
is an animal lover and world renowned bronze artist. While Jim was
in college at Fresno State University getting his Bachelor of
Science degree in Animal Husbandry and Art, he worked on several
large ranches breaking horses to ride. During college Jim was on the
Fresno State Rodeo Team participating in both bull riding and bronc
riding, in his last year of college he finished 3rd in the West
Coast Bull Riding standings. Jim has always loved animal and nature.
In the early 70's Jim started racing quarter horses and
thoroughbreds and is still racing to this day winning over 80 races
and breaking many track records across the west coast. Jim’s art is
collected by collectors all over the world. And is one of the most
accomplished artists of this time. Some of his collectors include:
the late President Ronald Reagan, Terry Bradshaw, Prince Shalman of
Saudi Arabia, Jimmy Rogers (son of Will Rogers), The Hearst Family,
King Ranch, Fess Parker, Wayne Lucas, and Prim minister of India,
Gandhi, to name a few. This is just a portion of collectors. Jim has
done many shows such as the Phippen Cowboy Art show where he’s won

Hall of Fame and Gilcrease museum. This is just the start of Jims’
incredible life. To learn more view Jim's full biography here.
