Dudley C. Carter

There are also works of his on display in Japan and Germany, as well as a private collection in Israel Carter was a participant in the "Art in Action" program during the 1940 season of the Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE).

[2] He was a timber cruiser and forest engineer most of his life, exploring and mapping Pacific Northwest wilderness.

[2] Carter was a participant during 1940, in the "Art in Action" exhibitions during the 1939–1940 Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) on Treasure Island.

[4] Dudley had donated The Ram because he knew it was the school mascot and it had been part of the Golden Gate International Exposition's Arts in Action exhibition.

By 1980, The Ram had many layers of paint and damage and in spring of 1983 it was restored by Carter with use of a pick axe and its original, natural redwood.

[4] In 1979, at the age of eighty-eight, Carter was commissioned to carve three large cedars for the Clackamas Town Center shopping mall, located in the southeastern part of the Portland metropolitan area in Oregon.

The trees selected for the project came from Mount St. Helens six months before the volcanic eruption of 1980 that eliminated much of the forest.

[7] After a brief illness the artist died in his sleep at the Slough House residence, just a month short of his 101st birthday on April 7, 1992.

[7] The artist bequest included his art studio, fashioned in the manner of a native Haida dwelling, and a group of monumental wood sculptures of the sort that brought the sculptor to international prominence.
