Karen
Keene Day is an established painter who specializes in wild horses, both
of the West and Marsh Tackies. She travels to Colorado and Wyoming to
photograph wild horses which she finds through the help of The Bureau of
Land Management (BLM).
Karen has painted all her life and has been selling her work since the early 80’s. Her art work then included landscapes, florals, and wildlife. Staring in 1992, she began to travel to ranches to paint domestic horses, free of tack. Since 1999, she has specialized in painting wild horses. Noble, majestic, powerful and beautiful…it is these qualities of horses that Karen sees. Through her paintings she reveals her unique expression of their spirituality in a celebration of life through her color and movement. In their strong family units I the wild, running free or standing still, Karen paints them with rich colors, free of tack and rider. Her paintings have been featured in horse magazines Equine Image, Andalusian and Conquistador, Horses in Art, and Wildlife Art. Equine Image represented her at Equitana, an international horse show in Louisville, Kentucky. Karen has been selected by Wildlife art Magazine as one of the fifteen female wildlife artists to collect now. She hopes to interest people to learn about the uniqueness of the spirit of wild horses and their place in our country’s history, thereby the importance of protecting them. She encourages you to contact the Bureau of Land management for more information on places in the USA to ago and see them. |
