Colorful Run: Mustangs at Return To Freedom Wild Horse
Sanctuary, Lompoc, California.
Her work includes lots of horses – from English to Western to
wild horses. After Bev, her husband Clark, and their daughter
Kayla moved back to the U.S. they returned to the familiarity of
Arizona. For about 10 years, home has been a ranch about 6,000
feet up in the mountains in the North. They all ride, but for Bev,
a dedicated lifelong horseperson, the equines are as much a
passion as the subject of her artistic photography.
“I don’t show, I just ride,” Bev said. “Me and my horses. I can
see in their eye what they’re thinking and how they feel. In my art, I
go to great lengths to capture the essence of the horse, to portray
his beauty, his strength and his spirit.”
