About Me

I create equine art that is beautiful, captivating and powerful, which is exactly what horses are. My art supports humane treatment and management of wild horses.

This painting is from a photo I took in Utah of the Onaqui range herd in June, before they were rounded up in July. As I watched these horses for hours interacting with each other and relaxing near a water source I had a powerful sense of belonging. The wind was whipping, the sun shining, the sound of the wind was in my ears. Just the elements of wind earth and horse. That’s the feeling behind this painting. This horse has a quiet strength and perseverance that says I deserve to be here, to occupy this space, to breathe this air. This horse asks nothing of the viewer, other than this. To allow him to be.

This blue roan stallion in the #onaqui range of Utah was impossibly beautiful. He and his herd were hanging out near Simpson Springs napping, protecting new born foals and clearly enjoying each other’s company. I spent hours watching them all. It was magical. With this painting I tried to capture how this horse is a part of the landscape. He blends with it, lives in harmony with his surroundings and he belongs.

Really having fun with the start of this painting. My model is a wild blue roan stallion from Utah, whose immediate future is in jeopardy from the government and their helicopter round ups. He is absolutely beautiful, and he has a lot of dark marks all over his body that I have yet to paint in. I can’t wait to start on those details. There will be mountains behind him and his grassy range land all around. Blue is the theme. But now I gotta go food shopping… 👀 we’re low on cat food and flavored creamer!

Holy cow, this is some pretty weird horse art I’m doing lately, but I love it. And saying that is kind of a big deal for me. Not the weird part 😆, the “I love it” part. But I can’t help it. I really love this painting of a white horse with wings of flowers and leaves. This is the third painting in my Guardian series. 24”x36” acrylic and art crayon on gallery wrapped canvas.

Here’s what’s on the easel today! A work in progress, and it’s already taking its own direction. I love how the painting is in control and does it’s own thing. I’m just here to move the paint around 😏

I loved painting this stallion as much as I loved witnessing him living his life free on our public lands. He had such a strong presence. He had two mares and a foal he was watching over as they made their way to water. The tip of his right ear was missing, his coat was shiny and his features beautiful. I still can’t get over how lucky we were to see these #onaquimountainwildhorses from Utah. I paired him with Munro’s Globemallow, a plant that grows in the same area. This will make shirt (and mug) number three! 😁🙌🤩
