Capturing Wildlife – In Bronze

EXHIBITION: “Rosetta: Animal Artistry”
Loveland Museum
Loveland, Colorado
thelovelandmuseum.org
through September 20, 2025

The Loveland Museum has organized “Rosetta: Animal Artistry, A 40-Year Journey,” a retrospective devoted to a leading sculptor who deftly captures the grace, power, and spirit of wildlife.

This venue is especially appropriate because the artist and her photographer husband, Mel Schockner, moved to Loveland in the 1990s, drawn by its renowned bronze foundries and skilled artisans.

Inspired by her lifelong love of animals, Rosetta blends hard edges with fluidity, melding abstraction with representation in order to convey her deep respect for the animals she portrays. The artist herself will lead tours of the exhibition on August 30.

About the Museum: Author, collector, curator, and mountain guide, Harold Dunning, founded the Museum in 1937. The City of Loveland took over operations of Dunning’s pioneer museum in 1945. Renovations and expansions throughout the years have yielded an art and history museum that presents rotating and permanent art and history exhibits, family events, adult and youth classes, lectures, poetry readings, and other programming opportunities. The Museum has a 37,000-object history collection, provides educational spaces and community gathering spaces in both the main Museum building and the newly acquired Beet Education Center located adjacent to the Museum, and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

Loveland Museum is an integral part of the cultural landscape in Northern Colorado. The Museum feels a strong responsibility to its regular patrons and our collaborative partners to move forward with accessible programs that contribute to the high quality of life residents have come to expect in the city.
