My name is JennMarie
My work lives at the intersection of horse and human—
where communication becomes connection... and connection becomes Art.
About Me.
I’ve spent over 20 years working with horses—
helping riders build clarity, trust, and true connection.
My work is rooted in understanding how horses think, how they learn, and how our presence shapes everything they become.
​
​
Over time, I began to see patterns—
not just in horses, but in people.
And that’s where everything changed.
​
My whole program is build on psychology. All actions come from feelings. Once we understand why we feel the things we do, we access the root of the behavior. This is the same for horses.
I've found myself observing horses since I was little, then trying to capture their likeness on paper, well before I ever rode a horse. This interest became not a hobby, but a lifestyle.
My artwork is inspired by the inner world between us and animals, instead of focusing on the differences between us, seeing where we are alike, and nurturing the bond that brings us into connection.
This endless fascination fuels my work. Day by day, I see a new inspiration in my work with animals, it comes out onto canvas in the studio. I feel this process resonates with the horse work, it takes observation, practice and feel.
The horses inspire my art, my art fuels my understanding of true horsemanship. They are forever intertwined.
My mission is to offer what i've learned to improve the relationships between horses and humans.
My passion is to capture the special bond you have with your animal in artwork.
