Being self-taught, having a lifelong connection with horses and other animals, and always learning from every new sculpture, Hollander takes the intuitive approach to every aspect of her work, including the creative process. “It’s not a conscious decision. Sometimes I start something, get distracted, and start something else. Just the act of making something carries everything. It tells you what to do.” 

Hollander combines metals and cement to create a variety of distinctive textures that bring her sculptures to life. Her horses evoke childhood days spent looking for ancient coins, spelunking in prehistoric caves, and savoring the traditions and customs of the ranching community in which she grew up.
