When Ken and Monica Rowe opened the doors of Rowe Fine Art Gallery in March 2010, they had a strong vision of the gallery’s theme and focus. After sculpting wildlife for more than 23 years, Ken knew he did not want any overlap among the artists he represented, and the duo wanted to make sure the physical area complemented the art. The gallery’s upstairs corner space has fabulous views of Calle Independence and reminds visitors of their favorite den – if that den were decorated with renowned traditional and contemporary southwestern sculptors and painters, of course.
Rowe Fine Art Gallery represents sculptors Walt Horton, Kim Seyesnem Obrzut, Ken Payne, Erik Petersen, Ken Rowe and Jason Scull. The gallery also represents painters Vince Fazio, Lynn Heil, Sue Krzyston, Jack Morley, Gabor Svagrik, John Poon and Linda St. Clair. You will frequently find guest artists demonstration on-site, and Ken can be found sculpting in the gallery nearly seven days a week. Seasoned art collectors and novices alike will discover something new after spending time talking with artists and viewing Rowe Fine Art’s impressive collection.
Ken has called Sedona home since December 1995. Born in Arizona, he was influenced by drawing and painting with his mother as well as his love of the outdoors. Ken's first introduction to wildlife art was in the field of taxidermy. For 14 years, he and 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. He has been a full-time, award-winning sculptor for the past 15 years; the scale of his work ranges from small maquettes to large monuments.
