Western Art Bronze Sculpture by
Stephen E. Lee
Stephen was born in Flagstaff, Arizona, into a family with roots deep in the
Southwest. He was exposed to ranch life as a child and worked as a ranch cowboy
as a young man. Stephen’s introduction to metalworking began with the need to
shoe his own horses. Working in front of an anvil developed into a career in
ornamental ironwork. In turn, a desire for greater artistic expression led
Stephen to explore sculpting. His sculpture depicts contemporary cowboy life.
Stephen’s awards include: the Olaf Wieghorst Award for Best of Show at the
Mountain Oyster Club Contemporary Art Show & Sale in 2004; the award for best
presentation at both the 2005 and 2006 Calgary Stampede Western Art Salons; and
best of show at the 2006 Challenge New Mexico show in Santa Fe. His work can be
seen at exhibitions throughout the West, including, in addition to the
foregoing, the Phippen Museum Art Show & Sale in Prescott, Arizona, the
Cottonwood Art Festival in Richardson, Texas, and the Cowboy Marketplace at the
National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. He is proud to be represented by the
Mountain Lighthouse and Gallery in South Fork, Colorado.
Today, Stephen divides his time between sculpting, architectural blacksmithing
and tending to his New Mexico ranch. He still shoes his own horses.
