Kim Corpany grew up on the backs of her family's horses in Morgan, Utah. Her mother is an artist and art teacher, so to keep Kim out of trouble and quiet in church and other meetings she would give her daughter
pencils and paper to draw on. Being a horse crazy girl from the start, Kim’s artwork has nearly always
revolved around horses.
Kim graduated from Morgan High School where she was Sterling Scholar in art.
She went on to earn an AS degree from Weber State University and then a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University.
Then Kim studied landscape painting at the Jackson Hole Artist's Academy under the direction of Jim Wilcox.
She attended Scottsdale Artist's School where she studied horse anatomy and sculpture from CA sculptor Mehl Lawson. This class launched Kim's career in bronze sculpture and sculpting bronze horses. 
Kim studied Oil painting with Tom Browning at Scottsdale Artists School.
She has also continued her learning by learning horse psychology, anatomy, and training from reining horse trainer Vaughn Knudsen. 
Kim enjoys training and showing her own horses in NRHA reining competitions as well as AQHA and APHA horse shows.
Kim has worked in concert with sculptor and bronze foundry owner Stan Watts and his foundry Atlas Bronze Casting to create numerous bronze monuments and statues worldwide including a bronze statue of George Washington on his half-Arabian stallion, Blueskin which is located at Freedoms Foundation , Valley Forge, Pennsylvannia.
Kim’s most recent monument is a 1 and 1/2 life-size monument of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nayan galloping on his Arabian mare. Kim and her team traveled to Abu Dhabi for 20 days where they assembled and patina-ed the bronze sculpture prior to installing it at the entrance to the Al Forsan Shooting Sports Resort. The monument was of such size that after assembling it in the foundry in the USA, the sculpture had to then be cut into sections and crated so that it could be air freighted to Abu Dhabi. The entire project was quite an exhausting adventure which had to be completed in 8 months from small conceptual maquette to finished and installed monument.
