Reita Newkirk & Alice Griffin

Reita Newkirk and Alice Griffin are friends and lifelong artists who have combined their unique talents and backgrounds to produce collaborative paintings that exalt the natural world and one of its most glorious creatures - the horse. For them the horse is a metaphor that embraces the spirit of nature, a connection that touches the hearts and minds of many people, even those who have had little or no direct experience with this magnificent animal. The horse has always been a symbol that registers in the collective unconscious as freedom, strength and powerful beauty.

Newkirk and Griffin combine materials, which vary from encaustic to oil, to create luminous surfaces of color and depth that resonate with the themes in their work. Their paintings feature both representational and abstract elements that lend scale and establish an emotional resonance between the landscape and the horses.
