Ken Rowe was born and raised in Arizona. As a young boy,
he was known to express himself through various art mediums,
such as drawing, painting and sculpting. An avid
outdoorsman, Ken has devoted his life to combining his
vocation with his avocation through a career in wildlife
art.
At the age of 26, Ken opened his own wildlife art studio
where he sculpted life-sized mannequins as a taxidermist.
During that time, Ken submerged himself in a business that
demanded an intense study of anatomy, composition and
wildlife physiology. Ken believes that this in-depth
knowledge is an extremely important quality for a wildlife
artist.
For the past 17 years, Ken has expanded his talent into the
creation of bronze sculpture. These bronzes depict Ken’s
tremendous respect for wildlife, along with the legendary
cowboys, bucking broncos and historic Native Americans of
the Southwest.
Ken’s bronzes are in many private and corporate collections
throughout the United States and foreign countries.
“To me, art is much more than finite detail. It is accuracy
of the subject, storylines, and the culmination of strength,
texture and balance. In the visual sense, when one views my
art, he or she should be able to feel the rugged beauty of
the Southwest and the vitality and diversity of its people.”
