I paint what I love, and horses are an important part of my daily life. I have 3 mares at home now and earlier had two males. Even when I can’t ride, their beautiful energy is wonderful to have at our home. After more than 30 years of grooming and handling my horses, my hands know every muscle and bone. Painting them unites me with them, even when I am traveling for my engineering work.
Please click on the paintings to see them clearly. I paint by glazing transparent layers of color to create depth and vibrancy.
