A Horse Lover since childhood,
Donna Bernstein developed her artistic passion by doing what it has
been said the early cave artists did - drawing horses as a means of
"capturing" them. "Their very form and grace have inspired me for as
long as I can remember," she recalls.
Donna creates highly expressive contemporary equine art in
Asian-inspired inks, acrylic canvases, bronze sculptures. "I have
watched and drawn horses forever, watching being the essential
element. My images are born of a rich visual memory, blending the
splendid equine form with figurative and abstract stylization."
Her work evokes a deep energetic simplicity, and the natural,
accurate action of the horse. Through vibrant colors, dynamic forms,
suggestive gestures, her style communicates freedom, movement,
energy and passion.
Donna describes her style as inspired by the simple power of pure
line. "I've learned that the horse expresses for me essential
elements - Beauty, Power, Movement, Sensuality and Freedom. When I
see the horse, this is the poetry I see." True to form, Donna's
sense of expression reveals a dynamic yet subtle affinity between
woman and horse, and her own unique connection to those that run
with the wind.
Her work is represented by the International Artist Agency Perdurabo
Art of London, England; by the J. Whitney Gallery in Ct.; by the
online galleries ArtCanyon of Atlanta, Georgia, and ArtVitae.com, of
Tipperary, Ireland, as well as by Northern Exposures Gallery and
Out-A-Idaho Gallery in McCall. She is a Premiere Portfolio Artist at
