CURRICULUM VITAE

Matter of Fact
Robert Spaith was born and educated in Calgary. He grew up on the family ranch near High River, Alberta, where he developed a life-long interest in horsemanship, the cowboy life and western culture.
After graduating from the University of Calgary in 1976 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Robert's growing interest in sculpture led to a five-year trophy bronze contract for the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede.

A best Bronze, Best of Show award at the 1984 Stockman's Foundation Art Show further encouraged Spaith to concentrate on sculpture. The challenge of creating three-dimensional art that integrates itself into a specific situation continues to sustain Robert's passion to sculpt.
