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.
