Ralph Berg Jr

Ralph "Tuffy" Berg, Jr. (1940 - 1991) was active/lived in Montana.  Ralph Berg Jr is known for Wild animal sculpture.

Ralph Berg, Jr. was born in Great Falls on October 18th, 1940.  While he was growing up, he acquired the nickname "Tuffy" after several bouts with his sisters and cousins, and the name stayed with him throughout his life.  He attended local schools, working as a teen for Great Falls Sporting Goods, and graduated in 1958.  Though his experiences growing up were focused on the outdoors rather than art, they prepared him well for his later creative works.

After service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he worked for many years as a hunting guide and taxidermist, eventually opening the Montana Taxidermy Shop in Great Falls.  Aside from the outdoors and wildlife, his other avid interest was "that damn'd ol' rodeo."  He loved to challenge the broncs, but was injured several times.

While convalescing after a particularly bad injury from a rodeo in Belt, he discovered the work of a local artist, Earle Heikka [see AskART], and was hooked.    ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2026 characters.]  Artist bio
