Stanley Herd attended art school at Wichita State University, before launching a career as both an indoor and outdoor muralist in Dodge City, Kansas. There, Herd created his first "field art" projects, 160-acre portraits of Chief Satanta, and Will Rogers, both of which drew national attention in such publications as the National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines. With those images, Herd had pioneered an art form that has flourished within the broader category of earthwork art. These detailed portrait of work animals reflect Herd's intimate knowledge of farming, gained as a youth in Southwest Kansas.
