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. Additionally,
Pat's "Equus Nobilis" garnered second place in
the pencil division at last year's Western States Horse Expo.
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 Artisits, 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). Pat's
pieces can also be found in private collections throughout the
United States, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
In September of 2002 Pat became
the primary artist for Chic Skins Leather Fashions of Sonoma, CA.
Her work is turning heads, whether it's the Grand Ole Opry or in
Tinsel Town itself. Chic Skins are worn by the likes of
celebrities such as Bo Derek and country artist Alan Jackson.
Similarly, 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, AZ and is an avid horsewoman and dressage competitor. |
