About the artist:

Tanner Jensen is an equestrian artist based in Flagstaff, Arizona. She was born to a family that didn’t understand her love of horses, but always supported her. As a youth, Tanner took inspiration from travel, art books and the paintings in her own home. She studied painting at Northern Arizona University and attended East Carolina University in North Carolina where she studied with Paul Hartley. It was at East Carolina that Tanner was able to balance working with horses and creating art.

Part of Tanner’s drive to become an equestrian artist dates back to her childhood. “Do you remember those moments when you were a child and you would see a horse? Those feelings that took your breath away and filled you with sheer joy? I believe every equestrian has experienced them. It’s that feeling that I’m trying to capture with my art,” Tanner said.
