Janna the Horsepainter

Horses and much more!

I am a figurative painter whose figure of choice is horses. Early childhood on a Sandhills Nebraska ranch might be to blame. Since I have a subject I know well (AKA: an obsession) horses, I can play with a variety of techniques, media and styles. I do mixed media/collage paintings, but have been developing a different media; painting on machined metal surfaces. By first drawing with a grinder on the metal I create a reflective pattern that glows through thin layers of oil paint and changes with the lighting and angle of view.

This changeability in the image can be seen as movement. I love making movement and change a part of each painting. This is especially appropriate to my subject since horses were how we all got around until relatively recently! I do paint other subjects (trees, flowers, people) but, love the challenge of merging my favorite subject with them somehow / sometimes!


My art can be found at Noyes Art Gallery in Lincoln NE, where I am a long time Coop member. I also take the horse-art to the horse people by displaying at several national/regional horse fairs. I am a member of Impact Artist Nebraska, which promotes Nebraska art and artists with traveling themed shows.

Mixed Media Art

Capturing movement and emotion through unique techniques.

Several horse sculptures with a metallic, reflective surface are mounted on a wall. The horses display dynamic, muscular features, and the lighting highlights the rich copper and bronze tones, creating a dramatic effect. The background features a stone wall and patches of sky.

Figurative Focus

Horses as a dynamic subject in various styles.

A watercolor painting of a horse with flowing, vibrant blue mane that swirls elegantly around its face. The horse has a soft brown coat and deep, expressive eyes. Delicate white dots accentuate the mane, adding a sense of whimsy and magic.

A large mural depicting two black horses in motion is painted on an old brick wall. The urban backdrop consists of modern high-rise buildings with reflective glass windows and older, more traditional brick buildings. The ground is covered with a thin layer of snow.

A building exterior featuring large, abstract line drawings resembling figures and a horse on a textured white surface. Beneath the artwork, there are large black-and-white photos of a person in an art studio setting. Several people are visible on the sidewalk near the building, with a modern cityscape in the background. The scene is illuminated by streetlights at night.
