Stephanie Revennaugh

A lifelong love affair with horses has taught Stephanie well the equine anatomy. Early dreams of riding through children's books, countless hours rendering their form, Clipper her first pony, showing jumpers in South America and managing a dressage barn in Colorado have given Stephanie a deep understanding of her motif.

“I model form because it is the most natural way for me to express an idea or feeling. I model the horse because its form has been imprinted into my consciousness through long hours of interaction, focused observation and drawing. While I am fascinated with the beauty and elegance of equine design, it is the sensitive spirit of the horse which invites exploration of more abstract deeper meanings. 

“As my work progresses I am interested in experimenting with unconventional materials and working on a larger scale. Master sculptors of the past Antoine-Louis Barye and Rembrandt Bugatti as well as contemporary artists Deborah Butterfield, George Carlson and Dylan Lewis have influenced me to blend traditional and contemporary elements in a remix that is uniquely my own.

The National Sculpture Society awarded Revennaugh the 2017 Marilyn Newmark Memorial Grant for a meritorious body of work in animal sculpture. In 2018 Revennaugh was elected a member of the National Sculpture Society. 

She has won Best of Show 2020, Best 3D 2019,  the Museum Purchase Award2018 and Best New Artist 2016 at Cowgirl Up!

Her sculpture Mutual is now in the permanent collection of Desert Caballeros Western Museum. 

American Women Artists awarded her Member with Distinction and Award of Excellence in the 2020 show Making Their Mark at the Booth Western Art Museum.   

While Revennaugh is known primarily for her sculpture work, she began her artistic career working as a painter. Her 2D works in encaustic, cold wax and mixed media, explore form and texture in a more abstract way. Connecting with the viewer in an emotive, less literal sense. 

Stephanie divides her time between Arizona, California and Montana accompanied by her beloved whippet hounds and Thoroughbred horse.
