I am Rebekah McLain. That in itself means more to me than just a name. It represents me constantly being on a mission to be the best version of me and in every single aspect of life. I am a wife, mom, and artist, and this is me.
My journey with art started as so many others across the world and stemmed from a passionate obsession with horses, cowboys, and everything western, even from my earliest memories. If I had a pencil, you can bet your britches I was drawing horses or cowboys.
As fate would have it, it seems like drawing horses all the time eventually pays off and I finally got my very first horse.
As a visual learner, the ability to learn from my own horses has helped improve my skills more than any book or YouTube video in the form of better understanding of muscles, hoof structure, and so many other details that you wouldn’t think of without having the physical experience around these animals. To this day I still use that experience to my advantage!
I’m still appealing to that horse crazy little girl because as truth would have it, I’m still just a little horse crazy. I hope that my audience will see just how much I love my subject matter when they view my work. I want them to be able to feel as if they are living in the moment that is showcased with every single artwork, to be able to put themselves in that saddle, leading that horse, being absorbed in that moment of time, or out in nature seeing God’s beautiful creatures. I want my art to bring a touch of rugged elegance into your space and to spark meaningful conversations. To enhance your love for the subject that draws your eye and the story that connects you to it.
Art truly brings me joy and it is my mission to share that joy with the world. My hope is to share that joy with the world while testing my limits, honing my skills, and inspiring others to chase their dreams.
