Paul Rhymer

Artist Paul Rhymer comes from a family of artists and has been painting his entire life. His sculptures capture a wide range of subject matter, including all manner of wildlife as well as various plant life. “I try to create sculptures that convey my feelings and experiences of animals and use them to express my feelings about the world around me. I feel like all of my life’s experiences have fed my career in art,” says Rhymer. “My whole life has been spent outdoors hunting, fishing, paddling and bird watching. It has instilled a love of the natural world in me that gives me my world perspective. My career as a taxidermist and a model maker gave me the tools to express myself in sculpture—both the skills to actually sculpt and all the skills needed to produce a bronze cast from a clay sculpture. And the anatomical knowledge to portray my subject accurately.”

Rhymer explains that for the last year or so, he has been using his artwork as a way to write “love letters to music.” He adds, “My subjects and their titles have expressed my admiration of music’s ability to invoke an emotional response; for me this is the highest accomplishment of art.”

New works by Rhymer can be seen at the upcoming Celebration of Fine Art in Scottsdale, Arizona, from January 12 to March 24, 2019.
