Artist's Reflection Spring 2026
I was honored to be entrusted with the responsibility of immortalizing "Sally " in her element for Bob and Janell Graber. Portraying such a distinguished mare was a responsibility I carried with great respect. Horses like Sally—true heart horses—become an enduring part of the family.
Over the course of her remarkable career, Sally distinguished herself in both the non-pro and open arenas, performing as a partner to Meredith Graber as well as alongside renowned horsemen Bobby Lewis and Chris Dawson. Now retired, this painting was created to honor the strength, grace, and enduring spirit of a once-in-a-lifetime mare.
