Michelle Grant is an award winning artist who focuses on Equestrian and Farm Animal works. Her pencil works are hyper photo-realistic. Read on for more info and art samples.

Michelle works masterly in both Oil and Graphite. She renders her subject matter honestly; including small details like freeze brandings, veins and texture. Her works have dimension; layers of elements showing depth and depict realistic movement, be it a whip flying through the air or the flair of a horse's nostril. There's no denying her skill in creating realistic portraits.

I especially love the attention paid to the crinkles and folds of a colt's soft nose in one of her full color oil paintings of a baby horse.

for MICHELLE GRANT

In 1996, I won a pencil print of yours in a drawing from Equine Images. It is of a team of draft horses pulling a cowboy sitting on a disc. It hangs on my bedroom wall where I see and admire it several times a day. I often wonder if I thanked you for it at the time. Today, while going thru some old papers in my desk, I came across a note and your card that you had enclosed with the print. You had written ‘Hope you like the print and enjoy it for years to come’. Well, I surely have. Thank you so much.
In viewing your web site, it is wonderful to see that you have done so well with your art.
If you have the time, I would like to hear from you to know that you at last received a thank you for your gift.
