About the Item

Kathleen Friedenberg began her professional career as a veterinary surgeon in England, and came to the United States, on a Thouron scholarship, studying human and equine orthopaedics at the University of Pennsylvania. Following marriage, and study at a commercial art school, she spent several years doing medical and veterinary illustration, including illustrating three books. Sculpting began at night school, but soon became a full-time occupation. Further study with Zenos and Evangelos Frudakis resulted in a more structured and classical approach, and her veterinary background gives her unexcelled understanding of animal anatomy and movement. Horses are the favourites, in a wide range of human and animal subjects. She is actively involved with the American Academy of Equine Art, being a Vice-President and Director of Education, and conducting an annual workshop of equestrian sculpture, under their auspices, at The Kentucky Horse Park, since their teaching programs began in 1992. In 2003 she taught the first of the Academy's workshops at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine at New Bolton Center. Winning the Academy's "Award of Excellence" for three consecutive years, AND MORE, as judged by fellow equestrian artists, was a special achievement. In 2002 and 2003, she also taught classes, in sculpture of the horse, at the Scottsdale Artist's School in Arizona. Kathleen is a member of various other art groups, including the Society of Animal Artists and the National Sculpture Society, winning numerous awards, including Medal of Honor at both Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club and the American Artists Professional League, in New York. Her work has appeared on the cover of The Chronicle of the Horse over twenty times, and she was featured in Equine "Images" magazine in the Fall 1989 issue, "Spur" magazine in July/August 1996, Kentucky Horse Park's magazine, "Discover Horses", Fall/Winter, 2003, "Hunt" magazine in 2004 and "Horses in Art" magazine, Summer 2008, as well as various other publications. She was selected to appear in Daphne S. Landis' beautiful new book, "Speaking for Themselves - The Artists of Southeastern Pennsylvania."

  • 'Tortoise' Contemporary bronze animal sculpture of a tortoise, glossy finish
    By Tobias Martin
    Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
    'Tortoise' by Tobias Martin is a Solid Bronze Animal Sculpture. Tobias Martin was born in 1972 in Wiltshire, 12 miles from Stonehenge. Influenced by his idyllic rural upbringing, and the forces of nature and magic that permeated his childhood surroundings, these works have something of the mystical about them. Each piece is approached with precise observation and an acute interest in the minutiae of the subject matter, manipulating the material with a delicacy and lightness of touch. Despite being realised in heavy materials such as bronze, the resulting piece achieves a sense of movement and character that conveys the essential spirit of the animal. Inspired by the work of Grinling Gibbons and Alfred...
