Equine Elation II Painting

I have been an artist all of my life. Its something that lives within oneself and if you are lucky and focused, it will blossom into a career that blesses your life. Thats how I feel about my life. I was immersed for many years in the fashion industry and designed and manufactured the fabric prints, designed swimwear and beach attire. I learned so much about color and design as my line was distributed to over 1,000. stores. It was a wonderful experience. At the same time my childhood passion called to my heart and soul. There is such beauty in the connection between us humans and horses. I now paint these exquisite creatures because my curiosity and sense of intrigue is always present. When I paint them I feel their movement and mystery, beauty and power and wish to capture this onto paper or canvas in my art through line, gesture and color. I want the viewer to fell what I felt as I painted them. Their intelligence expression, graceful, yet powerful motion, their beautiful composition. I have a sense inside my soul that this is a vital and important part of my life purpose. I have new paintings constantly dancing in my mind, wanting to be expressed. It is a joyful journey of learning and expanding my artistic talents combined with the 'in the moment' power of creation that can only be described as divine as it comes from that place of unseen knowing from within. I am truly grateful for this creative journey that has brought so much love and purpose to my life. I participate in Art shows throughout the year and show in several galleries. I have been painting for 25 years. My paintings are in private collections Nationally and Internationally.
