Kristy Herman

I’m an artist who is inspired by two things I love most, horses and nature. Horses have been in my life since childhood. I started riding when I was 8 years old, took lessons, rode with friends, and worked at a stable until university. Once I graduated and entered the work force, I only rode on occasion. In 2018 I adopted my first horse, an off the track Thoroughbred gelding who makes me smile every day.

Nature is what keeps me grounded. Many of my landscape paintings are inspired by my travels. I’ve been blessed with the chance to visit 53 counties. Out of all of those amazing places England and Scotland are where I feel most at home. I’ve visited many times, and each visit is wonderful. The land there speaks to me in a way I haven’t found anywhere else.
