Creative Diary
A few months ago I was asked to paint this handsome Andalusian horse as a surprise for his owner. I photographed him as he happily performed the Spanish walk around his enclosure. He was so delightful to behold! My heart always leaps when I see a gorgeous horse like Corazon and I am so happy Continue Reading
One of my greatest joys is to paint a horse for a client. I love the entire process and know that the bond of love is the greatest gift shared by the partnership between the horse and their person. I came across this photo recently from a commission portrait of ‘Tara’ I completed several years Continue Reading
‘I dream of painting then I paint my dream’. I enjoy exploring the abstract process of painting. ‘Equine Essence I’ was a wonderful journey of gestural mark making in acrylic paint. The spontaneous mark making makes this a fun and engaging painting.
I am so happy to have my painting ‘Intertwined’ accepted into The American Academy Of Equine Art, juried, 2017 Spring Online Show! The AAEA specializes in the accurate and artistic expression of the Equine figure.
I am always so thankful to be an artist and to paint the vision that clients present to me. Such is the case with this painting ‘True Love’. A client sent me the photo of his daughter and her precious beloved horse. He explained to me that his daughter was now 28 and her beloved Continue Reading
My client sent me this photo of her giclee print she had framed of ‘Aramis’. I really like the colors that she chose and so appreciate you sending it to me! Thank you so much!
‘Majestic Dancer’, available original hanging in my studio. This painting really has action and energy! Then as your eye moves through the canvas it rests on the soulful eye of this wise and magnificent horse. Close up detail photos.

About Janet
" My guiding light as an artist is expressing the power, movement and sensitive nature of horses and other animals. So many of us know the beauty and love shared by us and the animals. It is an emotional kinship. I find great joy in creating a painting where the life and soul can be seen and felt not just by me, but the viewer as well.
In creating a piece I often combine engaging expressions in my subjects that evoke emotional curiosity along with dynamic energy, life and spirit circling within the composition. My paintings are first felt in my heart and are complete when the spirit of the piece arouse a feeling of intimate communication. My mission is to accurately portray the equine form, combined with color, inspired originality, infused with living essence.
I will continue to paint in oil with expressive brushwork, inspired by the vibrant animals that dance through my mind."
