Artist Statement:
I’ve had a pencil in my
hand as far back as I can remember, and a drawing of a horse was usually the
outcome. Growing up, I read every horse book I could get my hands on and
was inspired by the beautiful illustrations, especially ones like Walter
Farley’s “Black Stallion” series. I have dabbled in many mediums over the
years--oil, acrylic, watercolor, airbrush, etc.
However, after studying pastels with Lesley Harrison, an internationally-known pastelist whose work I have admired for years, pastel is my medium of choice. Lesley has my eternal gratitude for introducing me to this exciting medium that thrills me like no other. I still enjoy working with graphite pencil, too, because I “cut my artistic teeth” in this medium. It, like pastel, enables me to achieve all the subtleties needed for a portrait that comes alive!
