Deborah Masuoka is particularly well known for her large-scale “Rabbit Heads,” dynamic, powerfully reductive sculptures that are conceptually complex and visually compelling. She has been a visiting artist at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT as well as at the legendary Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, Israel. Her work is in numerous private and public art collections, including the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Arizona State University. In 2005 the Art in State Buildings program in Iowa purchased three of her cast bronze rabbit head sculptures for the Stafford Arboretum in Iowa State University’s Reiman Gardens. The Iowa West Foundation has also tapped Masuoka to create a large-scale bronze sculpture for an upcoming public arts project. This year, she created “White Rabbit” for the O! Project, sponsored by the Bemis Center, Alegent Health and the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce. The artist earned her BFA from Wayne State University and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
