That’s what my life is all about this summer and into the Fall. My house is in disarray and my art supplies are put neatly away while our house goes through a remodel. I look forward to painting horses again by the end of the year. If you send me an email, I’ll gladly add you to my mailing list when new art becomes available. My email is… Continue reading

Year of the Horse…
Wow! It’s an awesome year of the (wood) horse so far, filled with new growth and opportunity. It’s OUR year. The Horse year. Yet, I’m stepping back from painting and creating new work for awhile as I wait for my house to get remodeled. So…I’m a voyeur these days and LOVE all the equine artwork I see all over! It’s inspiring to see the horse being so revered and honored…and… Continue reading

Unbridled…
At an equestrian social event recently, we were asked to quickly introduce ourselves – who we were, and perhaps a tagline of sorts for our business. Before my turn came, my mind searched for clarity on who I am. I’m an artist. An equine artist…and I support equine rescue through my art. And I just recently got back into my art after blah blah blah…….no response
The HORSE Connection!
What I love most about vending my art at fairs and events, is connecting with other people who KNOW horses!! I mean know HORSES! The real thing. The animal that neighs and kicks and enjoys a dusty roll after a sweaty ride.
It thrills me to hear the stories these people share with me about their horse experiences; their childhood horse(s), their family’s working ranch, the grandparents who raised racing… Continue reading
Stunning!
When I see beautiful horse paintings or illustrations, it practically takes my breath away! I’m awed and inspired to experiment and stretch my artistic ‘legs’ so to speak. My artist rebirth is still very young and, I must admit, a little wobbly at times…so surrounding myself with other artist’s work helps me develop a sense of direction.
One of the artists whose horse paintings has inspired me for years is… Continue reading
My dream job…
I’ve been a horse collector ever since I was seven or eight years old. I’ve got a HUGE collection of horse figurines from all over the world…just horses: no Pegasuses, Unicorns, or riders…just horses. China, glass, wood, soapstone and various plastic types. And granted…many, in fact, MOST of the early ones have been repaired at least once – since to me…they were alive! They bucked, neighed, ran around and jumped… Continue reading
Why am I here?
I’ve recently started selling my art at fairs, learning the retail ropes…what I need in the way of display items, where to sell and so forth. The part I like best so far has been connecting with people who love horses. They may not have them in their lives anymore…but they have a deep connection to the horses they’ve had in their life…and each story I hear is different. I… Continue reading
