Chris Navarro has an interesting story to tell. He was a pro rodeo bull rider in his late teens and early 20s. He was not making any money and saw the future as being quite dim. One day Chris got a look at a small bronze called “Two Champs” by artist Harry Jackson (based in Cody, WY). Navarro liked the work and asked how much it cost? He was told $35,000 and decided that might not be a bad line of work. He went to a craft store in Casper and bought a kit. He labored over books at the library and worked, and worked and worked in a 10 by 55 trailer that was home. Chris Navarro and his wife now have homes in Casper and in Sedona, AZ.
