Tammy Tappan
Mill Spring, NC
After 30 years as a graphic designer and small business owner, I decided to return to my roots. Art is my passion and horses have always been my inspiration.
Message
I collect and warehouse more antique tack than a person could ever need. This "habit" is what inspired me to start a bronze series entitled "Once Upon A Horse". My fascination with the workmanship of other artists that created bits, spurs and all types of embellishments for the horse and rider continues today. The special pieces often become part of my bronze compositions.
The precarious nature of bringing a horse into balance and on the bit is explored in this piece. The horse is trotting across a vintage mexican curb in the rough terrain of the west.
