Kari Forbes

Kari Forbes is an artist whose life long dedication to horses
and her art is coming to fruition. Her technical skill and
ability to draw almost photo real detail have given her
exposure on the covers of several national publications.
But what many horse owners say set her apart from others in
her field is her ability to catch the true look and spirit of the
individual horse she is portraying.
Kari’s equine portraits hang in some of the finest horse
breeding and training establishments all over the USA,Canada,
Australia, Egypt, and Europe. She also has had several pieces
of  art in several galleries in California and Oregon.
Commissioned portraits of horses, other animals, and people
have kept Kari busy for 30 years and now she is making time
to follow her own unique artistic vision.
Sculpting is another medium she is working in. Her first bronzes,
and ceramics are studies of horses.
The most recent art adventure is ACEO
(Art Cards, Editions and Originals) in pastels and prisma color pencil, and oils.
Kari’s fascination with art and horses began as a young girl.
She spent many summers working on her Great Aunts horse
ranch in Wisconsin. Where she learned to ride and care for horses.
She also did many drawings and paintings of her Great Aunts animals.
Owning her own horses didn't come until adulthood with the
acquisition of 4 B.L.M. Mustangs.
Kari is now owner of Fern Creek Farm in Dallas, Oregon and
has 20 horses.  Arabians are her favorite  and breeding the classic
Arabian will no doubt be a life long pursuit.  Many of Kari’s horses
have been selected or bred for their beauty and are frequently subjects
for her artwork.  Walking through her herd one is immediately
struck by the friendliness and ethereal beauty of the horses.
