Horses have
always been the inspiration behind Pat Wozniak's artwork. Pat has
mastered the art of equine anatomy in a way that is aesthetically
incomparable. Her graphite and colored images of both animals and
people also convey the quality of "touchable realism" in hair fur,
and skin.
In 2002 she was
inducted into the Society of Animal Artists, the only international
art organization devoted solely to animal art. The Society selected
one of her works, "Mirror of History", to hang in their 43rd Annual
Art and the Animal Exhibit. This piece was chosen to be included as
part of the extended national tour which is currently touring and is
scheduled to conclude in January 2005 at the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History.
This year, the
Society chose " Soul Mates " for it's 44th Annual Exhibit and
additionally, Pat's "Equus Nobilis" garnered second place in the
pencil division at last year's Western States Horse Expo.
In the Pyramid
Society’s 2006 Egyptian Event Juried Showcase Auction, Pat's work "Rigel"
was awarded two prizes, "Most Realistic" and "Best in Alternative
Medium" (Excluding Painting and Sculpture). Pat's works have
received awards each year she has entered the Western States Horse
Expo art show, including best in the pencil division.
Other exhibits
include the American Academy of Equine Artists Equifestival in
Kentucky, and the El Camino Real Derby Exhibit in California. Her
work has also appeared several times on the cover of the Chronicle
of the Horse and Horse Show Magazine produced by the United States
Equestrian Federation (formerly AHSA).
Some of Pat's
pieces can also be found in private collections throughout the
United States, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Her work appears on
an exclusive line of custom fine leather furniture by Northwest
Native Designs.
Born in Boston,
MA, Pat earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Massachusetts
College of Art, Department of Illustration. She currently
resides in Scottsdale, Arizona and is an avid horsewoman and
dressage competitor. |
