Cowpainters is a woman owned and operated studio that specializes in the design and fabrication of fiberglass animal forms for public art projects. We work with cities and other non-profit organizations across the country to help organize fund-raising events featuring our fiberglass forms. To date we have been involved in 300 projects.

In addition to the forms, we also provide valuable consultation services, such as our Tips & Tricks© booklet for project organizers, to help them manage the process efficiently from start to finish. Our "Prep & Painting Tips"© for artists and our unique Artists' Hotline assures that local artists get the expert technical guidance they need.

Whether you want one form or 100, we can help. Choose from more than 350 models in our inventory, or we can custom design an image for you. We've designed over 250 custom images for our clients. Our premier team of designers and sculptors can create that special form that reflects your community or organization, too.

Please visit the rest of our website to see examples of our work and then give us a call at (312) 666-6257. We would love to work with you!
