HeART Of The Horse Art Show
Earlier this month I had the privilege of showing my work in the HeART of the Horse art show benefiting Save A Forgotten Equine. Everyone had big expectations for the show, the first that SAFE has put on, and it ended up being a fantastic event thanks to tireless work by some awesome SAFE volunteers! The event was held at the Abbey Ballroom in Tacoma which was a fun and unique location.
I have shown my artwork in the past, back in my days as a traditional media artist, but this was my first time showing my photos. It was a fun experience for me and made me stop and look at my photos as art pieces and not just photos for the horses owner (if that makes sense lol).
Here's what I brought to the show:

Here's what I brought to the show:
"An Esprit"
"Dusk"
The two Freisian images (which don't have names yet) are ones that I haven't posted or really shown at all (except to the owners of the horses who loved them!) and they were a big hit! In fact, both of the framed 11x14 prints I brought sold! Which is awesome since 50% of the sale goes right to SAFE! All total I sold three 11x14 prints and the auction items I brought all went for a good amount, too. All in all I had a great time mingling with fellow horse lovers, listening to great music, munching on good food and, of course, helping raise money for SAFE!
For more info (and a way better write up) on the event check out Monica Bretherton's northwest equestrian blog , Horsebytes. It even includes a bit about me!
Now, I did get scolded by Jamie at the event for moving to Monroe and not coming out to see the horses ( I know I've been slacking). So expect to see some photos of the SAFE rescue horses here in the near future!
PS I am planning on offering limited edition art prints of all of these images, let me know if you're interested! liz (at) lizstabbertphoto.com
