“I am a contemporary Texas artist.  My professional career began with decorative painting and murals in residential homes.  After many years of climbing ladders and scaffolding, I eventually transitioned to an easel and canvas. 

My lifelong passion for horses has been inspiration for much of my work.  They represent all that is beautiful, honest and noble communicating without words as if they can see into your soul.  Each painting begins with a clear idea and direction.  As the work develops I allow myself the freedom to let it evolve organically desiring to capture the essence of the subject without painting every detail.  I incorporate design principles but give myself permission to break the rules if I feel it will create a better painting.  Exploring various color combinations, techniques and textures are as important to my creative process as the finished painting.

Every artist will tell you that they have loved to draw from the time they could hold a crayon. I’m no different. Every artist will tell you that they have loved to draw from the time they could hold a crayon. I’m no different. 

I remember when my cousin, a couple of years my junior, won an art award in his elementary school. It was then that I decided a real artist was some sort of phenom. Not something I was born to. It didn’t stop me from drawing, but it did make me think a career in art was not something in my future. …

Debbie Pounders, a self taught artist from Tennessee, transforms her visions into immersive works of art that captivate viewers and collectors with their realism and innovation. Each piece begins with her unique process of mentally capturing the subject through her photography and painting in her mind before she even approaches the canvas.

Welcome to the world of art through my eyes.  I'm Rosie Penning, a passionate artist with a knack for capturing the unique personalities of pets, the warmth of human relationships, and the delicate elegance of still life paintings.

Having grown up in Nevada, and California, Cathryne sees the world with a Western viewpoint. She uses that western foundation to look for inspiration in old and new experiences. She looks at art as communication across cultures, time and experiences!

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.
