Horses inspire me. They always have. Since I was a little girl. Before I ever saw or touched one in person, I knew I loved them. It’s very cliche, I know. But the love is real. I grew up riding them, I went to school to study them, and all I can do is to paint them. I also love dogs and livestock and all wild animals, but I always come back to the horse.

I am self-taught and simply express my need to paint my equine muse.
