Profile:

Barbara E Lewis is an International Award Winning Artist

Specialising in traditional equine art

Barbara is primarily a commission artist. She works closely with her clients in order to ensure the resulting artwork reflects what the owner wishes to see. 

"My strength as an artist is my drawing skills. I abhor the use of tracing, projecting, light boxes and computers in art, which is now all too common.  You could say that my point of difference as an artist is the fact that I can actually draw!  Which is a pretty sad commentary on the state of things if you ask me, but there you have it."

Photos and other reference materials that are not of a high standard are no barrier to the production of an exceptional piece of art.  However, if all you need or want is a well-priced study from a single photograph, that is available too.
