This drawing is of a Quarter horse gelding named Roy, who was the very first horse I ever owned. The reference photo I used was taken the day we purchased him as my husband worked him in a round pen. Roy lived for years with a grade gelding we later owned who we called Jake. I created the background but used an old tree in the pasture next to our home as a model because I’ve always thought it had lots of character.

This drawing is of a Quarter horse mare named Holly who belongs to my cousin-in-law Derek. Derek’s wife CJ describes Holly as a “sassy and opinionated little madam” and I think that personality is what inspired me to drawing Holly. The reference photo was taken near Buffalo Gap, Virginia on a spring day a group of local cowboys were working calves.

This drawing is of a Quarter horse mare named Kim who belongs to a young cowboy named Randy who lives and works about an hour from where I live. I took the reference photo on a day that Randy and Kim were helping to work a group of calves near Buffalo Gap, Virginia. Randy had just mounted and Kim was giving nicely to him as they prepared to enter the arena to begin work.

Kristin Waters Wise ~ Artist

Kristin Waters Wise’s earliest artistic endeavors as a child were most often horses drawn in pencil. Horses have continued to be her favorite subjects and pencil her favorite medium. Today Kristin produces commissioned and original equine artwork in pencil as well as limited edition prints and note cards.

She is also a founding member of Virginia Equine Artists Association and currently serves as the organization’s Publicity and Marketing Coordinator.

Primarily a self taught artist, Kristin has taken occasional workshops and classes in drawing – with Barbara Oelke and Mary Shira – and watercolor painting with Mary Shira.

In addition to drawing, Kristin does freelance graphic design and writing. She spends much of her free time training for and competing in the sport of endurance horseback riding.
