Kim Corpany grew up on the backs of her family's horses in the beautiful mountain setting of Morgan, Utah and she began drawing at an early age with the encouragement and teaching of her mother, JoAnne Corpany, a fine artist and high school art teacher.
Kim graduated from Morgan High School where she was Sterling Scholar in art after 12 years of
doodling horses in the margins of her schoolwork.
She went on to earn an AS degree from Weber State University and then a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University.
She studied landscape painting at the Jackson Hole Artist's Academy
painting "plein air" in Grand Teton National Park under the direction of extraordinary landscape painter Jim Wilcox.
She attended Scottsdale Artist's School where she studied horse anatomy and
sculpture from Cowboy Artists of America sculptor Mehl Lawson. This class launched Kim's career in bronze sculpture.
The equine artist has studied oil painting with Tom Browning, member of the Cowboy Artists of America at Scottsdale Artist's School.
She has also continued her education by learning horse psychology, anatomy, and training from reining horse trainer Vaughn Knudsen.
Kim Corpany worked as a horse sculptor in concert with sculptor and bronze foundry owner Stan Watts and his foundry Atlas Bronze Casting to create numerous bronze horse sculptures and equestrian statues worldwide.
Kim Corpany creates custom bronze sculpture portraits and custom oil paintings of horses and their people. She would be happy to work with you to create a bronze of your special horse.
