Gary Lee Price is the sculptor behind the Statue of Responsibility, a monumental project inspired by Viktor Frankl’s vision as a counterpart to the Statue of Liberty. Symbolizing the importance of personal responsibility, the statue is planned for construction on the West Coast of the United States. Price is fully committed to bringing Frankl’s vision to life through the Statue of Responsibility Foundation.
His dedication to this project began in 1997 when Stephen R. Covey commissioned him to create the statue. Deeply moved by Frankl’s teachings, Price saw the monument as a powerful way to spread his message. Having long explored themes of unity and connection in his sculptures—particularly through the recurring motif of hands—Price naturally extended this artistic language to the design of the Statue of Responsibility, emphasizing the importance of lifting and supporting one another.
Gary Lee Price’s sculptures are designed to inspire and lift the human spirit, capturing the essence of what makes humanity unique. His work includes over 12 life-size bronze sculptures displayed at the Hong Kong Central Library, and many others in public and private collections worldwide. Notable works include the 11-foot "Celebration!" sculpture, displayed in locations such as Surrey, England, and Decatur, Georgia, and his 22-foot version at NuSkin International in Utah. His angel monument, "Messenger," in Iceland honors early U.S. immigrants, and his “Communion” monument is located at the United Methodist Church of Brentwood, Tennessee.
Gary has also taught workshops on creation and manifestation, sharing the lessons passed to him by his mentors.
A Fine Arts graduate of the University of Utah, Gary’s belief in perpetual learning has led him to travel and research across the world. His works are displayed in prestigious locations including the Culver Military Academy, the American Community Schools in Surrey, and the Springville Museum of Art. Elected as a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society, Gary’s sculptures are showcased in galleries across the United States.
Gary lives in Buckeye, Arizona, with his wife Leesa Clark Price. Together, they have nine children and 20+ grandchildren.
Alongside his wife, Leesa Clark Price, he continues to advocate for and promote the Statue of Responsibility through public speaking, podcasts, and fundraising efforts.
