Dagmar Galleithner-Steiner is a German born artist specializing in horse and dog portraits, and abstract expressionism.  She moved to the United States in 2013 and found artistic success with her realistic portraits of dogs and horses.  She was commissioned to paint the official portraits of six Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s Pacific Classic winners. 

Rhonda is a charcoal artist whose wild heart is rooted in the sweeping solitude of Nevada’s Great Basin. Born and raised in Elko, she’s shaped by rugged terrain, long drives, and the fierce independence of desert life. Her art draws deeply from the region’s raw beauty and the visceral grace of horses, a connection sparked in childhood when pencils first met hoofbeats.

I don’t know which I loved more as a child, my art supplies, or my stick horses. I blame television’s Roy Rogers and Trigger for the horse obsession.
