Horse racing… my heart and imagination have been captured by a whole new visual world! Majestic, powerful horses; vibrant, patterned silks; unique racecourse landscapes. I’ve had a close insight into horse racing with privileged access to the top racehorses in their stables and on the gallops, on the racecourse and in enclosures, and in stud. Meeting the people that live and breathe this equine world, and seeing their passion and excitement, is contagious!

Cheltenham Racecourse and Festival - Surrounded by the Cotswolds hills, Cheltenham Racecourse is a natural amphitheater and after watching the November Meeting on a crisp Autumn day, I couldn’t wait to paint it. Last week at the Cheltenham Festival, I experienced the pinnacle of the jump racing season. The Chairman of Cheltenham Racecourse commissioned two paintings (below). A special seal of approval.
