About the Item
"Athena I" is a bonded bronze on black marble base.
edition of 50 - bronze w/ other finishes are available.
Echoing the spirit of masters of Equestrian art like Stubbs, Gericault, Bonheur and Munnings, Atlanta-native Julie Ferris brings her own contemporary style, perspective and expression to her equine portraits. Paying close attention to the formal aspects; line, color, shape, scale and composition, she creates portraits that are realistic, yet painterly. Ferris is interested in capturing the duality she sees in her subjects. “I love how the horse personifies the contrast of steel and velvet,” Ferris says, “because even though they are strong and powerful, horses also possess a gentle and soft nature.”
Her latest body of work “Good Mare” is a series of paintings that explore the equestrian saying, “there’s just nothing better than a good mare.” Female horses have a stigma that they are difficult and opinionated, but if a rider is partnered with a ‘good one,’ together they will develop an unbreakable bond and trust. Good horses are often referred to as ‘saints,’ because they are loyal, take care of their rider, forgive their mistakes and give their all. A good mare’s trust must be earned.
Ferris received a BFA in Painting with a Minor in Equine Studies from the Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, Georgia. Her work has been commissioned and collected across the United States and internationally.

Julie Ferris
Julie Ferris is an equine portrait painter whose goal is to portray the strength and beauty of each subject. Ferris explores the symbolism, history and the highly unique relationship that humankind and the horse have shared over thousands of years. Although the purpose and necessity of the horse have changed over the last century, their cultural presence and bond with humans remain strong. In her new life-size equine portrait, Ferris touches on the building blocks of a relationship, concentrating on the initial interaction between horse and human. An Atlanta native, Ferris received a BFA in painting with a minor in Equine Studies from the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, where she also competed on the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association SCAD equestrian team.

- "Nimbus" - abstract sculpture - Barbara HepworthBy Susan HableLocated in Atlanta, GASusan Hable is inspired by the work of David Hockney, Milton Avery, Henri Matisse, Alex Katz, Howard Hodgkins, Hilma af Klint, Georgia O'Keeffe, Barbara Hepworth and Constantin Brâncuși. With humor and a bit of mischief, Susan Hable’s “Don't Pick The Flowers!” is a body of work that is at once a refuge and a playground. Inspired by her sumptuous garden just outside of her Athens studio, Susan flows from one medium to the next from painting to collage to sculpture. Susan sees her garden as a place for adventure and daydreaming, challenging her perceptions of what her Art can be. Even a weedy ground cover has caught Susan’s eye, an overlooked invasive is seen in a new light becoming a dreamlike fairytale path. Her work asks us to engage in life, go for a walk and play.
