Ken Rowe's threefold talent as a onetime successful taxidermist, naturalist and sculptor has made him one of the country's most respected sculptors of wildlife. Besides a passion for sculpting and a fascination with animals of all kinds, success as a wildlife sculptor requires a passion for adventure. Rowe reveres and connects with the natural world. Observing and studying eagles continues to be one of Rowe's ultimate passions.

When asked how he felt when he first saw an eagle flying above the Alaskan skyline, Rowe says, "It was like finally meeting someone I had admired for years. I am always humbled by what I see and I realize how critical it is to create authentic sculptures.”

When Rowe returns from an adventure in nature he maintains his passion for his work by surrounding himself with reference materials and photographs. He sustains his enthusiasm by working on a diversity of pieces simultaneously. How do client's react to Rowe's finished work? "Their response is truly awesome," says Rowe. " I am so thrilled when collectors tell me my work has enhanced their life.”

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.

At the age of 26, Ken opened his own wildlife art studio where he sculpted life size 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.

Rowe's wildlife sculptures are in numerous boardrooms all over corporate America and they offer a sense of peace to clients in an often-stressful environment. In a sense Rowe is an emissary of the wilderness…. transforming homes and offices with his passion for animals and his work.
