Whitneys Originals

            

 

   Whitney grew up on a Farm in Oregon. She is the last of nine children, who all show an artistic ability in some form or another. She now lives in Montana and is married with three school aged children. She considers herself very blessed to be able to have been a stay at home mother and to work on her art.

Whitney has taught herself to draw, wood burn and use acrylic paints. Although she has had no formal training she has been drawing since she could pick up a pencil she would often get reprimanded in school for drawing and not getting her school work done. She says she is most comfortable with pencils as she’s has spent her whole life using them.

At this point in time Whitney is mostly painting in acrylics and drawing although she still dabbles in many types of art from wood burning, charcoal, colored pencil, and welding.

               Whitney keeps busy drawing and painting portraits   

              for clients of their pets and livestock. She also prints her  

              own note cards and calendars from the paintings she has

              done. She attends a few art shows where she sells her art.

               Whitney has had a blip written about her wood burning   

              along with a picture of one of her pieces in Horses in Art

             Magazine winter issue of 2007

             

              Whitney would like her art to make people smile and give              

             them a feeling of well being. She says she may be serious 

             about her art but she doesn’t want her art to be too serious.    

             She has a bold and bright yet correct style that she hope  

             portrays a light and content feeling for the people who view

             and buy her art.

              Whitney is currently working on and will have a coloring

             book of horses completed and published in plenty

             of time for Christmas. She says the coloring book will not be

             your typical horse coloring book you find in department 

             stores. It  will boast 100 drawings and will be a  life like 

             coloring book depicting horses in all walks of life doing all

             the things horses do  from working cattle, show horses,

             being in rodeos, jumping, racing, trail riding, barrel racing,

             foaling, training, there will be different horse breeds shown,

             grooming, farriers, beautiful  horses just being horses. 

             roping cattle, pole bending and much more.
