Artist Anita Gersch has loved horses since she was a toddler and has spent the best portion of her life with them—as a rider, an instructor and trainer, and as an artist/designer.

“I’ve ridden competitively and have taught hunt seat and dressage and run a show barn for many years,” said Gersch. “I guess I’ve tried just about everything and anything that can be done on or with a horse!

But, I’m still amazed each day at the beauty of horses and hope to portray them in an original way—using saturated color and negative space as an integral part of my work.
