Artist Comments
Artist Alana Clumeck presents a modern take on a herd of horses leisurely marching up a hill. "Instead of drawing out the horses first, I chose to paint-draw the horses directly on the canvas," shares Alana. She uses this technique to purposely loosen up the brushstrokes and keep the horses in a primitive guise. She pulls inspiration from the Santa Ynez Valley where she resides.

About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”
