Karis Studio - About the Artist |
|
|
|
Of Greek origin with the meaning of "grace", the name of my fine
art and design studio - KARIS - is pronounced KARE-iss. Chosen
in memory of my first endurance horse, a purebred Arabian named
"Karis Conquest", Karis is the perfect name for my art studio as
much of my fine artwork features the most graceful of animals,
the horse.
Drawing horses was my favorite artistic endeavor as a child and
today I still love to draw them. In addition to commissioned and
original artwork of horses, dogs and other subjects, I produce
limited edition fine art prints and note cards from many of my
original drawings.
I am primarily a self taught artist, though I
have taken occasional workshops and classes in drawing and
watercolor painting. I am a founding member of the
Virginia Equine Artists Association and a member of
International Equine Artists.
In addition to drawing, I do freelance graphic design
and writing and spend much of my free time training for and
competing in the sport of endurance horseback riding.
