Gray Pinto Rocking Horse Painting

About the Artist Susan Barackman: Susan began drawing horses at age 4 on the back of her father's blueprints. School work often carried horsey scribbles in the margins. At the age of 12 she went door to door selling pencil drawings for just 25 cents each. Susan works in pencil, acrylic and water color. Her paintings hang in corporate offices of Cactus Saddlery and Baylor Hospital Hotel and her work has won awards on both the local and national levels. After retirement from 27 years in the educational field, Susan has started a whole new sideline of designing custom saddle stands (Susan's Saddle Stands) but still remains active painting, drawing and fulfilling portrait commissions.
