"A&E loves The Rain Collective, a group of 16 young artists that work both separately
and in collaboration. Among the artists are minimalist Kate Heegaard Hartfiel , who
melds something like the iconic Marlboro Man with the attitude of Joan Miro : bright colors, curving lines and cowboys." - The Minnesota Daily
, May 2010
ARTIST STATEMENT:
This current body of work explores the working relationship between horse and rider, specifically as it relates to ranching and rodeo. I have chosen to use the silhouette to illustrate this relationship, as the horse and rider are interdependent on one another
often to the point of becoming one, to complete the task at hand.
