Creative Expression & A Love of Horses . . .

Patricia Borum"s creative expression and her love of horses go hand in hand. It is out of these loves that Patricia explores the nuances of equine anatomy and behavior. The resulting realism, is tempered with a classical style derived from growing up abroad. The international exposure brings to Patricia's work the depth and expansiveness of the European classics blended with the natural life-long affinity she enjoys with horses.

From small table top sculptures to monumental work, the detail and true to life realism of Patricia's creations captures the intense relationship shared between horse and human. The viewer expects the sculpted horse to twitch an ear, exhale, or nicker a greeting. It is just a shadow of an expectation, nonetheless it is part of the visual experience involved with Patricia's work.
