We had such a wonderful time this weekend at Scene. The gallery was the host of an awesome show and I was fortunate to be one of the artist that was featured! Amazing pieces from William Rankin Mclure and Emily Farish were also featured! Scene is located at Pepper Place and it is quickly becoming one of Birmingham's most popular spots. Not only is Scene a gallery, it's also a venue that can hosts events and functions whether personal or corporate. Guests spent a few hours on Saturday admiring the art, mingling and getting to know the featured artists. I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to be among such great artists!

Thank You Kimberly and Olivia!
Olivia’s mother, Kimberly, emailed me not too long ago to inquire about my Equus collection prints. She told me that her 11-year-old daughter is part of the hippotherapy program, Horse Ability, in New York where they live. Olivia is special needs with a rare genetic deletion that requires special attention and daily forms of therapy. She loves horses. Kimberly told me that Olivia is so happy when she is riding. As a board member of Special Equestrians, it is these stories that truly touch my heart.
I hope you love the print of L’ami Noir – it is one of my favorites! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your story with me. Keep riding, Olivia!

Equus:"Year of the Horse"
2014 is the year of the horse according to Chinese zodiac, which makes this upcoming year an exciting time for the Equus print collection. Specifically, the year 2014 is the year of the wood horse. Stable and strong, wood horses are better able to make decisions. They interact well with others; a trait that enables them to have more successful personal and professional relationships. The Equus collection publicly launched in November of 2013, however is a series put together over a span of three years. As each print captivates the strength and beauty of each horse it is clear that 2014 could not be a better year to fully launch the Equus collection!
