Montana Horse Gallery

Me with Jack, a horse I used to own.

Me with Class!

Winter is my favorite time of year to go out on a four wheeler. I love being in the woods alone in the snow and the trees. There's nothing like the peacefulness of it. Of course you need to wear a lot of clothes so you can stay out all day! I also carry anything I might need in case I end up spending the night out there. I was near Philipsburg when this photo was taken by a friend of mine.

The links to your left will take you to my own personal website, my blog, and my photos.

This is a page about me. Not very exciting stuff! But artists do these pages anyway. If you're at all curious about me, you can find out some things here. :) I was born and raised in Montana, lived here all my life. I've traveled the entire United States, driving semi, and I still like Montana best.

Robert and I joined our families so we have several kids and grandkids. The horse I own now is Class. She's a registered thoroughbred mare. She used to win races in Washington state. I live in Vaughn, Montana.

If you're interested in seeing my art, and you're in my area, give me a call and come by the studio. The coffee pot is always handy and I love company. You have to take my studio as you find it, I'm to busy painting to clean it every day!

I've been in some juried shows, The Equine Art Guild International Show for two or three years in a row, where one of my paintings won a first place award. The Western States Horse Expo, for two years. I've had a one woman show in St Luke's Hospital in Ronan, Mt.

Invited to Montana Artist's on Display, Red Cross Show, Butte, Mt

I was featured artist on the Creative Spotlight newsletter, 2006. Accepted into the Newton Fine Arts Small and Miniature show, Newton, Kansas, 2006. In the Newton show, one of my paintings won a second place award.

Two of my paintings were used by the CAPS art auction in their advertising for the October 2006 fundraiser. The Good Bay Mare, and red, white and Blue were in the advertising.

We will also be doing the gun shows and many craft shows in the Great Falls area.

I feel this way about my art, it can be included in awards and shows and I'm glad. But what really matters to me, is to have my work speak to your heart. When you look into the eyes of a beautiful horse, and see into their soul, I'm pleased. If you see a horse in a pasture in a relaxed, easy pose, and you can imagine the of feel the sun on your own back, I'm happy. If you share a love of animals and through my art, you feel their presence, I'm happy.

I enjoy hearing your comments, feedback and animal stories. Donna
