About Kim

A lifelong horse lover, Kim McElroy began her professional equine art career while pursuing a degree in fine art. She began with vibrant line drawings, quickly expanding to a broad variety of artistic expression and style, celebrating the full breadth and wonder of the horse.

Kim, with her partner and mother, Kay, exhibit her original pastels and limited edition prints nationally and internationally, in special and private showings, and at many major horse shows.

Collectors of Kim's work seek her out because of her unique approach to equine art. Her work appeals not only to those familiar with horses, but also to all who marvel at their majestic presence. Ranging from expressive, lifelike studies to impressions of line and motion, her style captures what you would like to remember of the horse.....their expression, their action, their dynamic power, their fundamental beauty.

Through the imagery of movement, Kim has found a way to bring alive the expression of the horse as an art form rather than simply a portrait or as part of a landscape. Her love for horses and her artistic insight combine to capture the essence of the horse to that all can appreciate its majesty and beauty.

Kim's destiny seems to have been set out from birth. She was born in 1966, the year of the Fire Horse, a rare sign in the Chinese calendar occurring only once every 60 years. Her birth sign not only describes her work, but perhaps also explains her uncanny ability to create horses with a life of their own.
