Stanley Proctor
Native Floridian W. Stanley “Sandy” Proctor has a national reputation as a professional sculptor of the highest caliber. Prior to concentrating in bronze sculpture, Sandy was an accomplished painter and stone carver whose work has been displayed at museums of national and international recognition. The State of Florida commemorated Sandy and his contribution to the arts as they inducted him into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in March 2006. After more than 30 years as a professional artist, Sandy was incredibly moved and honored to be included in such a distinguished group of talent as Ernest Hemingway, Ray Charles, Tennessee Williams, and Zora Neale Hurston, among others.
Sandy is a self-taught artist who began his career as a painter, working in watercolor, oils, and acrylic. As a child and young man, Sandy sketched and painted birds, flowers, trees, landscapes and animals which helped him hone his abilities to capture an identifiable essence and realism in his work. From painting, Sandy began pursuing more three-dimensional mediums. He carved alabaster and marble for many years but once Sandy began working in clay and sculpting, he found his final love.
Most recently, Sandy has installed numerous public and private commissions of monumental and portrait bronzes. He completed a commission of a monumental sculpture of two Navy SEALs killed in the line of duty entitled, “The Guardians,” for the Veteran’s Memorial Park in Cupertino, California and dedicated in November 2007 by Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter; Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden for Florida State University’s Doak Campbell Stadium; the “Spartan” for the University of Tampa; “Eddie Stanky” for the University of South Alabama; “Trojan” for Lincoln High School in Florida; “Father Kelly” for the Bishop England High School in South Carolina; “The Sunday Paper” for The Tallahassee Democrat in Florida; “The Brian Litz Memorial” for the Marion County Sheriff’s Department; and the “Wuerffel Trophy” for the All Sports Association’s national award named for Danny Wuerffel.
