I am a self-taught artist specializing in photo-realistic
portraiture of Arabian horses. My works exemplify the character and
physical traits of this unique breed. I currently live in Everett,
Washington. My travels frequently take me to Arizona, California and
British Columbia, so feel free to contact me for in-person visits
and photography if you are in any of these areas.
Desert-bred by the roaming Bedouin people of the ancient Middle East
as war horses, the Arabian has come to symbolize delicate beauty. To
this day, the Arabian embodies many dichotomies.. wildness and
domesticity, beauty and fierceness, daintiness and incredible
endurance. This character is aptly captured in the black and white
of a charcoal drawing. Through my work, I capture impossible moments
of perfection in fantastic photo-realism. These are the kinds of
moments that Arabian horse lovers have glimpsed out of the corner of
their souls' eyes, too quick to be caught but hauntingly powerful,
just like these animals themselves.
