What is Scott Runkel Equestrian?
Scott Runkel Equestrian is a collection of original equestrian artworks exploring the tension between power and restraint, movement and stillness. Each piece is handcrafted using layered mixed media techniques that bridge digital and analog forms, designed for collectors, riders, and interior designers who appreciate equestrian art as both subject and metaphor.
-
Are the works original or prints?
Each piece in the Rugged Grace collection is an original, hand-built artwork. Scott begins with printed panels that are layered with acrylic polymer, paint, stitchwork, or other surface interventions, creating a singular tactile presence. Limited edition prints may be introduced in the future, but every work remains rooted in the authenticity of the handmade.
-
Does Scott accept private commissions?
Private commissions are available for collectors seeking bespoke works that reflect a personal relationship with the horse. Each commission begins with a conversation to understand the horse’s character, the emotional tone of the piece, and its intended environment. Availability is intentionally limited to ensure depth, attention, and integrity in each creation.
-
How are the artworks presented or framed?
Each artwork is mounted on a rigid substrate, often revealing visible seams or layers that honor the process of construction. Framing is offered upon request and tailored to the collector’s interior context, favoring understated materials that complement the refined yet rugged nature of the work.

What inspires this body of work?
Scott’s work draws from the quiet intensity of the horse-human relationship, particularly the discipline and poise found in dressage. Each composition reflects a balance between vulnerability and control, between gesture and stillness. The result is a visual language that feels both timeless and deeply personal — a study in motion, memory, and restraint.
