Thanks & Acknowledgements
This page is one of the most important on my website. If it were not for the people I mention here, I would not be the artist I am today, would not have painted half of the paintings I have, nor be as far along in my career as I am. I have made so many wonderful friends on my journey and you all have my heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
To my Family & Friends, thank you all so much for your love, encouragement and kindness. You cannot know how much you mean to me.
To my Clients, thank you so much supporting both me and my art. I hope that owning one of my paintings brings you as much joy and happiness when you see it hanging in your home as it did to me when I was creating it. By patronizing my art career, you allow me to continue to do what I truly love, being an artist.
To all of the Horse Owners who have, without hesitation, invited me to photograph their horses, so that I may use them for reference photos. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to get your horses all prettied up for me.
To all of the amazing Photographers who have so graciously allowed me to use their remarkable images to base my paintings on. I appreciate your generosity immensely, your work is responsible for sparking my imagination and creativity. I owe you all so much.
And I've saved the most important person in my life for last. To my husband Gary, I thank you for your love and for supporting me every step of the way and for putting up with me during the crazy times. I love you dearly.

I would like to thank the very talented Zita Strother for her friendship, encouragement, inspiration and for so graciously allowing me to base some of my paintings on her amazing photographs. Zita is a kindred spirit. She loves horses as much as I do and her style of photography perfectly suits my style of painting these magnificent creatures. Please visit her website to view her beautiful work:
