Artist Bio: PAT ROBERTS

The years of experience as an accomplished horsewoman training, breeding and showing championship horses has given Pat the opportunity to study the subject she loves best. It was a natural for her to gravitate toward creating numerous sculptures of the horse in motion.

Although she has had no formal training, Pat has attended workshops given by artists she admires and credits for keeping her true to her own style, described as realistic with just a touch of impressionism. Pat works hard when sculpting cowboys and cowgirls with her detail as to authenticity of saddles, bridles and other tack.

Notable exhibits she has been a part besides the Pepper Tree show include the Cowgirl Up! Exhibit at the Desert Caballeros Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona, Cast in Bronze Show, Women First Show, Golden State Sculpture Annual Juried Show, Cattlemen's Western Art Show, the Satsooni Gallery, the Ojai Museum of Art, the Bronze & Brush Exhibit at the Elverhoj Museum, the Spirit of the Horse Juried Competition, Palos Verdes, California and the AAEA juried show at the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, Kentucky.

Pat has represented the United States as the sole artist invited from her country to exhibit at the Norvenich Castle, Aachen, Germany three consecutive years. She exhibited at the opening of the European Museum of Art in Clarence, New York and has been represented by and exhibited at the Osborne Gallery in London, England, as well as the Gallery Kocken, in Kevlar, Germany.

She was recently awarded "Best of Show" at the 2007 Spirit of the Horse Juried Art competition in Rancho Palos Verdes, California with her sculpture Equus in Flight. This was her second "Best of Show" received for an equine study.

Pat has been featured in Equine Vision, Western Horseman, Z Magazine (Europe), Santa Barbara Seasons, Horses in Art, Women & Horses, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Wine Destination Country and numerous other publications, including the published book, Of Women and Horses: More Expressions of the Magical Bond.

Part of the permanent collection at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, the European Museum of Art, as well as in several corporate headquarters, both in the United States and abroad, her collectors are scattered in 14 countries. Her sculptures are in the personal collection of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II,Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, actress Cheryl Ladd and husband, Brian Russell, among other celebrities.

While living on a beautiful horse farm with her husband, author/animal behaviorist, Monty Roberts in the Santa Ynez Valley near Santa Barbara, California, she finds ample subject matter to keep her busy for years to come.
