About the artist

Picture of Mai and her horse painted digitally

Hello,
I am a visual artist specializing in equine art, drawn to the unique moments and soul-touching presence of horses.

Horses have been a central part of my life since childhood, bringing joy, companionship, and a deep sense of wonder. Alongside them, art has been a constant companion – I have filled countless sketchbooks and canvases with horse drawings and paintings, explored every surface I could find, and attended a fine arts-focused high school. Horses and art have always been intertwined in my life, shaping how I see, feel, and create.

I create my commercial artworks digitally, using techniques inspired by traditional pastels, oils, and watercolors (currently using Rebelle 8 Pro). Every digital painting is developed with care, layer by layer, to capture texture, movement, and the essence of each horse. No generative AI is used – these are entirely hand-crafted pieces. Reference material informs the process, but each painting emerges from my own interpretation and artistic vision.

I also paint with traditional media such as watercolors, inks, acrylics, and oils for personal projects and exploration, continuing the lifelong love of creating by hand.

I am drawn to timeless subjects and understated compositions, where space and simplicity allow presence and movement to speak for themselves. Through my work, I aim to capture the moments, expressions, and connections that make horses so unique.

I paint horses so those moments are never lost. I paint for the love of horses.

My hope is that my painting is not only a beautiful object for your home,
but also a reminder of how deeply horses can touch our lives.

Thank you for exploring my work and for supporting independent, hand-crafted art.
