Born in Arizona, Ken Rowe's life has been shaped and forged by the rugged beauty, culture, and history of his native land. Influenced by drawing and painting with his mother, along with his love of the outdoors, Ken's first introduction to wildlife art was in the field of taxidermy. For 14 years, he and his wife, Monica, owned and operated a successful taxidermy studio, during which time, Ken submerged himself in a profession that demanded an intense study of anatomy and wildlife physiology. Ken believes this in-depth knowledge is an extremely important quality to possess as a wildlife artist. In 1987, Ken expanded his talents into the creation of bronze sculpture and has been a full-time sculptor for more than 36 years. He has become known for his anatomy, composition and, most importantly, the expressive life one can see in his pieces. Close to 40 years, the scale of his work has ranged from small maquettes to life-size monuments.
