There are horses we ride.
And then there are the ones we'll remember for the rest of our lives.
I create custom paintings of horses and the people who love them—portraits that capture not only how they look, but something much harder to photograph: the relationship between them.

SOME HORSES BECOME PART OF WHO WE ARE.
A Portrait That Truly Looks Like them
Capturing a true likeness is always my highest priority.
I study the photographs you send, (often quite a few of them) to understand both horse and rider. I can bring together her best expression from one photograph, his from another, and the little details that make each of them unmistakably themselves.
The finished painting doesn't have to recreate a photograph. It can create the portrait you wish you'd captured.
And you'll see and approve your portrait before I finish it. Nothing moves forward until you look at it and say, “That's them.”
YOU DON'T NEED ONE PERFECT PHOTOGRAPH.
HORSE. RIDER. AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN THEM.
In London, while my equestrian paintings were displayed with Espayo at the Longines Global Champions Tour, I found myself watching the riders almost as much as the horses.
The trust. The communication. The partnership between them.
That relationship has become one of my favorite things to paint.
