ABOUT THE ARTIST
My art journey started with painting horses in a unique, bold, modern and abstract way. I have loved and worked with horses my entire life. Several years ago I began to paint them. I continue to paint abstract horses and I have more recently begun to paint pet portraits.
In my abstract work I paint the elegant, free spirited figure of the horse in bold colors. My horse paintings embody the energy, form and life of the beautiful equine I know so well. I endeavor to capture the energy and spirit of the horse.
I have had pets most of my life. My pets bring so much joy and peace to my life, they are part of my family. During my time creating abstract equine art I had several people ask me if I did pet portraits. At the time I did not, but I have recently started painting portraits of horses, dogs and cats. I enjoy capturing the unique personality of each pet in their own portrait. If you are interest in creating a portrait of your pet, please contact me and we can discuss the details. Although I have worked in oil paint, charcoal and pastels, I currently only work in acrylic paint.
My art work is in several private residences and businesses throughout the U.S. It has also been used by an interior designer for staging of homes for sale. Additionally, I have donated some of my art to raise money for some local animal and school charities.
