Profile Information

About Me:
I have always loved horses and and art. Being an equine artist allows me to combine two of my passions! As an equine artist I get to meet lots of wonderful horses and talk to their owners. I enjoy traveling to horse farms and equine events to take reference photos -- and photos for commissions.

I have four horses -- three quarter horses and an Andalusian. I enjoy trail riding and trying to teach the Andalusian dressage movements.

You can see lots of my paintings on my website www.karenbrenner.com and read about my latest horse paintings and horse adventures on my blog at www.karenbrenner.com/blog.html.

Where do you see beauty?



"The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone." This Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote is one with which I, as an artist, can really relate. Every artist whose sets out to paint something beautiful needs to take their own path. And the results are not always what others consider beautiful.
