"Equine Inspiration: The Art of Carole Andreen-Harris" will be on exhibit Wednesday through May 31 in the gallery at Kirk-Bear Canyon Library, 8959 E. Tanque Verde Road.
This exhibit showcases the powerful combination of athleticism and elegance that the equine exemplifies. On Andreen-Harris' canvases, horses gallop with great power, pose with true majesty and even take time getting comfortable just being horses. The artist enjoys painting horses of all types and has a particular soft spot for the magnificence of race horses.
You can meet the artist at an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. May 11.
An associate member of the American Academy of Equine Art, Andreen-Harris is also a member of International Equine Artists and a founding member of HeARTists for Horses, a group of four Southern Arizona artists with a passion for helping horses in need.
