I began customizing models in the mid-1980s - after seeing my first issue of Just About Horses magazine.  I was thrilled to learn that there was more than just collecting Breyer horses.  My first piece was a repainted and haired Breyer Family Arabian Stallion.  I named him Illumination - funny name for a solid black horse. 

I dabbled in different techniques - starting with acrylics, moving to oils, and then back to acrylics and touching on pastels. 

I give you this gallery of my work - a little history of what I have done through the years - from some of my earliest CMs to the live show quality pieces I am doing today.  There is a history spanning many years and improvements.  I have done my best to catalog what I have created and sold or what I have done that remains in my private showstring and displaying them here in this gallery, making whatever notes I could as to the original piece's origin and how the final product came about.
