Deborah O'Sullivan

I try to utilize my 35 years of horse experience in creating equine art that appeals not only to the collector but to the horseperson. My years of dedicated work as a trainer/rider and, always, student of the horse has given me an extensive working knowledge of rider and equine biomechanics, movement, behavior and anatomy.

My goal is that my passion for the horse is evident in my ability to capture the heart and soul of the horse. I use color and brush strokes not only to convey visual excitement and motion but to try and capture the emotion and feeling of being with the horse in that moment. I want to capture the moment and make it bigger than life. I also believe that conveying the right expression in the eye is essential to portraying the soul of the horse.


I am a self taught artist and work in watercolors, acrylics and pastels.  I don't know "how" I know how to paint I just seem  to able to do it.


I love to hear from fellow artists and horse lovers so feel free to leave comments on my blog or contact me through my Contact the Artist link. 

I am a member of the Equine Art Guild, League of Animal Artists and P.A.C.E- Pawling Arts, Commerce & Education.
