Dawn Weimer
For Colorado native Dawn Weimer, portraying her love of the West as a western and wildlife artist came naturally-by age three she already loved to draw and her talent was apparent. She began her art career as a painter in 1985 and was commissioned for a number of years for animal portraiture. In 1991 Dawn became curios about sculpting and completed her first bronze. She fell in love with sculpting and has never looked back. Her exceptional sense of design coupled with natural sculpting ability quickly gained her awards nationwide and has attracted collectors worldwide.
DawnÍs style is realistic, yet expressive, maintaining exceptional integrity and quality. Exhibiting intense sensitivity to the spirit of animals, she immortalizes them in the forever medium of bronze. She demands explicit attention to every detail so each casting conforms to her strict standards to assure complete satisfaction for even the most discriminating collector.
