    The artist's were invited to Dubai and were present when a select audience could
 bid on the paintings,with proceeds benefiting Al Saada Girls School.

which was produced by Art Connection of Dubai.

    2008 Atlanta Steeplechase

The painting, "Brush Topper's", was chosen as the official image for the 2008 Atlanta Steeplechase.  The 43rd annual event benefits Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation of Atlanta and The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine.

Artist Statement:

"Even as a child, I was always drawn to painting horses. My family bred and
raced thoroughbred's, which was a big influence. The images of racing fascinated me.
I had always worked in a traditional, realistic style, but it wasn't capturing
the essence of what racing is. It is flashes of action and colours, speed and tension,
and is over in the blink of an eye.
Although my first love is racing, I also started working on bucking or rodeo
horses. Even though the two genre's are very different, they share a lot of
similarities.
I want my paintings to move. I want the viewer to think about what they are
seeing, to discover something new each time they look at a painting.
I work strictly with a painting knife. The finished paintings are a marvel of
textures and colours, that have been built up, layer upon layer. It takes several
months to complete a painting, then several months for the thick impasto to dry."
