Tuesday is artist appreciation day & today it’s all about the work of Melissa Boverhof, another artist I found via Twitter.
Artist of the Week
Todays artist draws soft, thoughtful portraits of horses & it is obvious she has spent hours studying every curve & shadow. Melissa is an equal opportunity horse lover and appreciates all shapes & sizes.
Keeping Up With Melissa
Be sure to visit her website at www.classicequineart.com to see her latest stuff & you can always find Melissa on Twitter to keep up with her work. Here are some quick quotes & my favorite images from her interview, you can read the whole interview here.
“I was born and raised in west Michigan and have lived in Grant almost my whole life. I was home schooled and graduated high school in 2008.”
“Its just horses that inspire me. I think apart from people they are God’s most beautiful creation and I just love to study them.”
“I am also an author, My sister and I have written a fantasy book for teenagers, ‘Seven Candles, the Reclaiming of Haven’ it was published and released on July 1st 2008”
“Yes, it is much easier to point people to my website when they want to see my art, then to drag a drawing around with me.”
Enjoying the Artists
Hope you enjoyed this artist re-visit & that you’ll check out Melissa’s full interview to learn more about her & her work. Stay tuned because next week we’ll be re-visiting an interview with horse artist Isa Kirk.
