What an honour to be granted the opportunity to immortalize one of the most influential mares in the history of the QH & Reined Cow Horse industry.

What began years ago with a single painting has grown into a lifelong friendship. Through my art, Miguel Guerrero and his family have become a part of my own.

Las Tunas is built on vision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to the horses, the sport, and the Western lifestyle we all love. To witness this next chapter unfold and to have played a small part in their journey is an honour I hold close to my heart.

Veronica Swales riding Spanish Nights (affectionately known as ‘Naomi’) won the 2024 Stallion Stakes Open Hackamore while I was tucked away up north in my studio. Working on a richly vaquero-inspired painting, the perfect title came the morning I learned of their Championship win: “Spanish Nights,” tying the painting and their story together.
