Sam Robinson self-portrait.

Steeplechase fine art by Maryland-based painter Sam Robinson will grace the annual Steeplechase Awards Dinner and Dance on Thursday, Jan. 17, at the Maryland Club in Baltimore.

Robinson, who resides in the Greenspring Valley, was a frequent presence on the 2018 National Steeplechase Association circuit.

His stunning oil paintings, in a realistic style reminiscent of Sir Alfred Munnings, will appear on the cover of American Steeplechasing 2018 and inside the volume.

A small collection of his works will be on display at the awards dinner and dance, which is sponsored by the NSA and the Steeplechase Owners and Trainers Association.

Robinson said he tries to see the overall flow of shapes and colors, the energy and elegance of the horses, the dance of legs and feet, the lines of tack and shanks, the poses of the riders, and the shapes and faces in the crowds.

Sales resulting from the show will benefit the NSA, with 50% of the proceeds going to the association.
