permanent collection.
At the 1988 National Academy of Western Art Show, Williford won the "Best
of the West" award and was commissioned by the Cowboy Hall of Fame
to reproduce in monumental proportion, his sculpture titled "Welcome
Sundown" for the entrance of the new east wing. It was then awarded
Prix de West by the Hall and kept in the museum's permanent collection.
This was Williford's second Prix de West in eight years. He is one of only
two artists to ever receive this prestigious award twice.
Hollis's career has been a startling example of talent and determination.
As a winner of the 1989 Silver Medal Award form the National Academy of
Western Artists, he continues to gain national recognition. The Cam-Plex
Heritage Center is proud to feature this highly acclaimed creator of fine
art.
