Belgrade-based sculptor, Jim Dolan, has spent his career fulfilling a pledge he made as a student: to dedicate his life to Montana. With over 170 works of public art, his naturalistic bronze and steel wildlife sculptures appear right at home in Big Sky’s landscape. Blending in with his natural surroundings, it is easy to mistake the Bull Elk, made of fabricated steel, for the real thing as you approach the Uplands and Hummocks trails. The sculpture was a generous donation to the Arts Council by Lindy Adelmann, in memory of her husband Doug.
