Joseph Boulton traveled East to New York from his home in Fort Worth, Texas to pursue a career in art. He began at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. Later, he went on to study under the celebrated sculptor H.A. MacNeil at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, also in New York. As a sculptor he is recognized for his sympathetic and ennobling depictions of animals and people, especially native Americans.
