Bunny Connell, a Big Horn, Wyoming artist, is widely known for her
broad range of animal bronzes. Bunny concentrates on the animal kingdom
for her subjects, where her unique ability to identify and capture
typical attitude and characteristic motion has become her hallmark.
Each Connell bronze combines a thorough knowledge of the subject,
accuracy in portrayal and a warm understanding of the animal world.
It
is no accident that her very popular series of Polo bronzes reflects
a closeness with the animals and the sport. Raised on a horse
ranch near one of the oldest Polo fields in the United States,
Bunny has been a student of the horse in motion and the sport
of Polo as long as she can remember. Her immediate family currently
boasts three playing members of the U.S. Polo Association while
two other members breed and train thoroughbred, polo, and jumping
prospects on the family ranch.
When
you combine this background and close association with the sport,
with over thirty years of art experience, it is not surprising
that she captures the true feelings of the greatest game of man
and horse.
Bunny's
background in the arts includes years of independent study in
many of the art disciplines and an ongoing devotion to research
in the animal field. A member of the Society of Animal Artists
for a number of years, Bunny is also a Full Member of the Academy.
