My first memory of a horse
was when I was five years old.
On moving to a new neighborhood at that time, there happened to
be a horse living across the street, a palomino I think who
shortly after had a foal. After that, I was completely and
totally smitten and horses have walked, trotted and cantered
through my head in a never ending parade since then.
Because of this, I began at a very early age to draw and paint
horses and animals, eventually becoming known as a flat painter,
working in oils, acrylics and water colors.
I then moved on to stained glass where I was very successful
with my equine based panels, several of which hang in the art
collection at our local thoroughbred race track.
Eventually a friend of mine introduced me to the world of model
horses and sculptures.
I became immersed in doing original sculptures of different
equine breeds and having them cast in resin as limited edition
artworks. At this time I am limiting myself to painting other
artists resins.
I am also very focused on watercolor at this time and the
general theme that has run through my artwork all my life is the
same, animals and more specifically, horses.
At home, I have four dogs. Three chihuahuas and one miniature
pinsher. They make me happy and make me laugh. Animals have
always been my world and my art work reflects that love.
