Animal Paintings ~ Capturing the spirit of animals in pastel

HomePortfolioGalleriesNewsAbout CarolContact


"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
Anatole France

Animals are my muse and the inspiration for my paintings.
Animals complete me as a human being;
they make me a whole person.
My art is the statement of my life-long love for them;
my passion is painting them.
Creating art of animals is what I was chosen to do.

My portfolio includes various domestic and wild animals.
My favorites are cows, horses, dogs and the great cats, however various other farm animals and wildlife,
like moose and bear, appear on my easel.
To learn first hand about the mustang,
America's wild horse and icon,
I began visiting the Ever After Mustang Rescue in Biddeford.
In July of 2009, I started participating in a weekly workshop 'Women and Horses'.

I have not only been able to study the anatomy and movement
of these dynamic creatures,
I have created a trusting and lasting bond
through body language, touch and eye contact.
I know the mustang I work with, Reno, can see into my heart and soul,
and I know he understands me, and he lets me see into his heart and soul, and I understand him, without any words.

It is an awesome experience.
