About the Item

Bronze sculpture of a long eared rabbit by Joffa Kerr (1935-2022). This sculpture is titled "If Ears Were Wings". The sculpture is impressionistic and whimsical. The sculpture is an edition of 10 with this one being no. 10. The original gallery label is attached the bottom of the base. Biography from the Oklahoma Art's Council; Though born in Nacodoches, Texas, Joffa Kerr attended the University of Oklahoma and studied interior design and art. She made Oklahoma her home and married William G. Kerr, son of famed businessman and politician Robert S. Kerr. It wasn’t until 1982 when she attended a series of Scottsdale Artist School courses that Kerr began a serious art career. She has since studied anatomy with several artists. She has studied with noted sculptors Ken Bunn, Sherry Sander, Kent Ullberg, and Glenna Goodacre. Kerr’s impressionistic style conveys the gestures and attitudes of her subjects, which creates unique, often humorous personalities for her bronzes. Her sculpting technique and interpretation of animals requires great concentration and quiet reflection. Joffa states, “The creative spirit needs time, quiet, and inspiration in order to emerge.” With camera in hand, she observes and studies the animal, taking in the surroundings--animal and environment. Back in her studio, she searches for the feeling, emotion, and essence of the animal she wants to convey. Her desire is that with the finished piece, the viewer will emotionally relate with her bronzes. In 1997, Southwest Art magazine editors named Kerr one of the top five Women Artists of the Year. She has exhibited at the Albuquerque Museum, Gilcrease Museum, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the International Exhibit Wildlife: The Artist View, organized by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. Among her clients for commissions are the Nature Conservancy, the Lori Corporation, and the Grand Teton Music Festival. Her work is currently represented in galleries in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming. In addition to her work as an artist, she along with her husband helped found the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.
