I grew up next to 6 horse farms in my hometown of Rye, NH. I used to sit in the fields and draw the horses and their foals every afternoon after school. The mares were so used to me sneaking into the pasture, that they must have thought I was their babysitter because the foals would often lay down next to me and put their head on my lap while I sketched them.
My cats, Tiggy and Pepper, would also follow me down the field to see sit with me or hang out on the stonewall and watch me.
I also love painting cats and dogs too…
My elementary school teacher always pushed me to see insights into the art world and how to look at anything and see how to draw it. My UNH professor, John Hatch, was my favorite teacher. He believed in me as an artist and encouraged me to develop a career in art.
I support myself as a commercial artist, graphic designer, watercolor and acrylic painter, photographer, illustrator and author.
My life is my art. My passion is equine art.
Wild horses is what I have dedicated a lot of my time to help save and advocate for their protection.
If you are reading this blog, I am sure your heart is attached to horses and were probably the horse crazy kid when you grew up.
I hope you like my blog and share it to help spread the word to help America’s mustangs. Please buy my book for yourself or as a gift to a horse lover. It is based on facts, but is a fiction story about a wild colt who gets caught in a government roundup and is rescued, ages 9 to adult.
Thank you!
