The art of Donna Bernstein has been self-coined as “Urban Equine.” She combines a passion for the anatomical horse with a love both of classic gestural drawing and the element of surprise. What gives her work its edge is a deep personal familiarity with the physical horse, and an expansive sense that the movement is bigger than what you see. Donna’s horses move beyond the canvas —a close-up as their energy flashes by — but with a clear glimpse of the intimacy reflected in its eye.
When artist Donna Bernstein painted Into the Light, an homage to the plight of America’s wild horses and the efforts to save them, she had no idea that the painting would inspire a joint venture with Morse Wines - based in Fiddletown, CA - and Return to Freedom’s American Wild Horse Sanctuary.
