Bronze artist Dawn Senior-Trask grew up in a log cabin hand-hewn by her family in Wyoming’s Snowy Range. In her work and life she celebrates her fond memories of lovely and unusual experiences with wild animals of many species (she prefers to call them Nations, as the Lakota do).

For instance, a herd of over one hundred elk lives around the cabin in winter, browsing, bugling, and lending the scene their majestic dignity as they move among the granite boulders with their noses in the air. Sage grouse dance every spring on their leks in the high foothills, and the red-shafted flickers carry out their noisy but graceful courtship rituals.

As a child, Dawn helped care for a blind, injured porcupine her family rescued, and she’s never forgotten how affectionate he was, “talking” to her in squeaks and grunts, allowing her to pet him, and holding her hand as she fed him.

A prairie falcon -- one of the fastest birds in the world -- evidently mistook the top of Dawn’s head for a rabbit and attacked, dive-bombing her at 80 miles per hour. She only had time to throw her hands in front of her face, but that was enough to convince the falcon to swerve away. Every year Dawn watches the great horned owls raise their young in the nearby draw. Prairie dogs bark in the valley’s meadows, horned lizards bask among the granite rocks, moose meander along ridges on their way between river and mountains, pelicans feed on a nearby lake, and on rare occasions a testy wolverine galumphs past. A few wolves have traveled from Yellowstone to become hauntingly mysterious presences in the western mountain range across the valley, sandhill cranes dance in the meadows, and Dawn recently watched a young otter bound across the ice and dive into the wintry river.

These are only a small sampling of the experiences that Dawn draws upon for this animal sculpture in bronze and other art forms.
