Born in Bosanquit, Ontario, Canada, Proctor’s formative years instilled within him an appreciation for the rugged beauty of the Canadian wilderness, which would profoundly shape his artistic vision as he emigrated to Iowa and subsequently Denver, Colorado, establishing himself firmly within the burgeoning landscape of American art.

He meticulously studied anatomy and musculature, striving for accuracy in portraying the animals he sculpted. This dedication to observation extended beyond mere representation; Proctor sought to convey emotion and movement, capturing the essence of animal behavior with remarkable sensitivity. Influenced by Auguste Rodin’s expressive sculpting approach, Proctor embraced a humanist aesthetic that prioritized conveying psychological depth alongside physical form.
