Wayne Salge's roots are deep in the West from growing up in San Antonio, Texas, and living with his family in Denver, Colorado, for the last 30 years. Wayne began his art training at LaVillita School of Art and continued his education at San Antonio College under renowned Texas artist, Mel Casas. He participates in continuing art education with workshops for bronze casting and stone sculpture - one especially memorable workshop with Cleo Hartwig in 1982. He began as a television art director in San Antonio, served as an illustrator and combat artist in Viet nam and as an advertising art director in Denver.

For the last 26 years Wayne has been both a free lance graphic designer and a sculptor. Graphic design offers creative precision in two dimensions while sculpture in bronze and stone has provided freedom of expression and exploration with an added dimension. The creative aspects of both disciplines result in a distinctive style for all of his art work; a real play between negative and positive space, angles and curves and rough and smooth surfaces.
