Native Floridian W. Stanley "Sandy" Proctor has a national reputation as a professional sculptor of the highest caliber. In recent years, Sandy was the Featured Master Sculptor at the Easton Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland; the Southeastern Art Exposition in Charleston, South Carolina; and the Wildlife Arts Festival in Thomasville, Georgia. Prior to concentrating in bronze sculpture, Sandy was an accomplished painter and stone carver whose work has been displayed at the British Museum of Natural History, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian, and other museums of national and international recognition.

In the past three years, Sandy has installed numerous public and private commissioned monumental bronzes, including works at the Florida Governor's Mansion Children's Park; the National Jewish Center Hospital in Colorado; the Living Desert Museum in California; Fairhope High School in Alabama; the Florida Association of Broadcasters; and church and two public libraries. Other significant pieces are located at the corporate headquarters of Nations Bank, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin; the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida; and the Tallahassee Memorial Regional Medical Center. In 1995, the Governor of Florida presented the President of the United States with a gift of Sandy's work entitled "Bandanna" which is currently located in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.

Sandy is equally comfortable modeling animals or people in any size, and he has completed many public and private commissions. In particular, many art collectors value Sandy's figurative and commissioned works as among the finest examples of life-size sculpture available today. In the last few years, Sandy has been featured in several magazines, including Wildlife Art Magazine, Sporting Classics, and Southeastern Wildlife Exposition.
