According to the MAM:

These sculptures, while contemporary pieces, are gathered under the banner of folk art. Folk art refers to pieces typically made using common materials and practices. The animals depicted in this exhibition are familiar across western Montana and these ambitious artists have presented each in large-scale.

According to the MAM:

“Bill Ohrmann was a self-taught artist with an uncanny versatility in both painting and sculpting. Ohrmann drew upon his ranching and animal husbandry roots for influence in his artwork. He was born in Hall, Montana, and lived in Drummond until he passed away in 2014.”
