Traditional sculptor of bronzes of the Old West, Grant was born in San Angelo, Texas in 1930. “There is a mystique about the West,” Grant observes, “that has captured people in all walks of life throughout the world.” Speed enjoys the results of the sculpture process, saying, "It's my feeling that each bronze is an original, because in any edition none of the sculptures are exactly the same." His fellow artists recognize Speed not only as an artist but also as a man of deep character and quiet faith. Today, Grant Speed and his family live in Lindon, Utah. He comments that it's a good life, though he admits "sometimes I'd really rather be cowboyin.”
