Deborah Masuoka

Born July 13, 1957. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Deborah Masuoka earned her BFA from Wayne State University and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Masuoka is particularly well-known for her large-scale "Rabbit Head" sculptures, which she paints in stone-like colors such as cobalt blue, green, rust, burnt orange and yellow. Masuoka is a nationally-exhibited sculptor. Her work is featured in numerous private and public art collections. Last year, three of her cast bronze rabbit head sculptures, which were purchased through the Art in State Buildings program, were added to the Stafford Arboretum in Iowa State University’s Reiman Gardens.
