Hippo and Gallinule

2008 Hiram Blauvelt Art Purchase Award

Paul Rhymer says “Being an avid fisher, hunter and birder, there are an unlimited sources of inspiration for sculptural ideas. Those observations are used to create sculptures that convey my feelings and experiences of animals—and use them to express feelings about the world around me.”

Rhymers’s Hippo Sculpture can be admired all year round in the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum’s Sculpture Garden.
