About The Artist

Brandi Hughes is a self taught multidisciplinary fine artist born and raised in Utah, the United States. After a serendipitous encounter with her now husband, Brandi relocated to Australia in 2014 and began her life as an artist there. Currently situated in the coastal regions of the Sunshine Coast, she spends her days swimming, tending to her garden and creating paintings and ceramics from her studio at home - likely with their butter-loving cat Louie by her side.

Artist Statement

“Horsing Around” is Lariat Daredevil, Last Roundup, and Lady Lasso. Horsing Around is a new body of work showcasing the trust shared between a horse and its rider. ‘Trick Roping’, a hybrid of sport and art dates back to the 1890’s yet is rarely depicted in contemporary or fine art.

The daredevil expression and precision necessary to perform these tricks not only requires skill and dedication by the rider, but trust and a deep bond with their horse as well.

The negative space or absence of background landscape draws your focus to the extreme nature of the subject - horse and rider - not their surroundings. To celebrate and honour this dangerously stunning act.
