Donal Hord was born in 1902 in Prentice, Wisconsin. He moved to San Diego in 1916 where he was raised and resided until his death in 1966. He studied sculpture with Anna Valentien, a student of Rodin’s, and spent two years studying bronze casting at the Santa Barbara School of the Arts with Archibald Dawson and Amory Simons.
Hord spent a year in Mexico, where he studied traditional Olmec and Zapotec art and carving on a Gould scholarship. As with Zapotec art and symbolism, Hord was also intrigued with the art of China which is reflected in his work.
During the depression of the 1930’s, he created numerous figures as part of the Work Project Administration, which can be seen throughout San Diego.
