Raising Old Glory
- Steel

- Bill Bunting
The artist’s inspiration for "Raising Old Glory" comes from those who have fought and many who have given their lives defending our nation and the freedoms we enjoy - and the necessity of passing it down to the next generation. This sculpture is a tribute to all who have served and sacrificed so that we may live in freedom.
Bill Bunting was born and raised on the ranch his grandfather homesteaded in the canyon lands of Southeast Colorado. Born on the prairie he has always had a love for the wide-open spaces. Bill has always had a strong interest in the history of Native Americans and the West. A self-taught artist, poet and knife-maker, much of Bill’s work portrays his own interpretation of the past.
