About The Artist |
Equestrian Artist, Patricia Borum
 Equestrian artist Patricia Borum captures the soul form and grace of the horse. Her understanding and love of horses, her natural artistic talent, and influence of growing up and traveling all over Europe and the Middle East has enabled Patricia to portray the horse in a classical form but with the horse's real emotions felt. Inspired primarily by the European museums and art galleries with emphasis on classical equestrian art, Patricia began at an early age painting with oils, then mastered the techniques of trompe'loil, faux marble and faux wood graining which is now used in her custom furniture painting.
Patricia's life-long involvement with horses and ponies started in Iran where she learned to ride on donkeys then graduated to a 10hh pony in Kansas which took her through gymkahanas to the east coast and jumping. Then in England she was very active with the British pony club. Patricia's 14.2hh Dartmoor pony was quite the jumper as was the Thoroughbred she got off the track and schooled to advanced levels in three day eventing.

Patricia began her sculpting career in the late 90's and since then has created such monumental pieces such as her majestic, larger than life sized bronze of "Spirit", an 11' bronze horse leaping out of the fountain gates of "Mission Ranch" in Rancho Mirage, California. Spirit was inspired by the courage of Alexander the Great's horse Bucephalus, and was dedicated in memory of the spirit of the American heroes of September 11, 2001.
Patricia is now living and working in the Sacramento, California area. Long retired from the show ring, she enjoys trail riding on her relaxed easy going black and white paint gelding Bucky.
