BOB GUELICH Bob Guelich may have become infatuated with birds when he was a child. The son of an Air Force pilot, Guelich was born in Flint, Michigan in 1944, but he bounced around through such exotic mailing addresses as Puerto Rico and Trinidad before settling in San Antonio when he was about 10. After completing high school and a brief stint in the United States Coast Guard, Bob earned a living as an engraver while painting a variety of subjects. In 1974, Bob changed gears dramatically and sold his inventory of paintings to pursue sculpting. To this day, Bob still vacillates between wax and clay as his sculpting medium, struggling to find the perfect formula. Best known for his painted bronzes, Bob never has difficulty picking subject matter.
