“I work in black & white, realistically, gracefully and truthfully. 

Using sharp graphite pencils and no backgrounds, I isolate my subject and focus solely on its beauty, grace and vitality.
Black and white really allows me to get to the essence, to show emotion, it doesn’t sidetrack in the way colour can.
I like to think of my work as pure & simple yet real enough to mirror the authenticity and magnitude of a deep passion. ..”

“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.” Henry Miller

The major turning point in Sheona’s career was when, on graduating from the European Business School in 1993, she moved to Germany to work for Dressage Gold Medallist, Nicole Uphoff. Here, at the heart of the European equestrian world, she had the chance to mingle with the best and discovered the beauty, mesmerizing presence, strength and power of world class sports horses. This was the inspiration needed to begin her study of horses. 1996 was when she jumped into her present career. Her eyes closed and her heart wide open. Life, trial and error, as well as continuous feedback from her collectors have been her mentors and have guided her over the years. Since, she has had numerous commissions, exhibitions and a growing interest in her work. Her art can today be found in numerous private collections throughout Europe and the United States.

Scott’s distinctive and award-winning pencil studies began in his first college art class. When given the assignment of studying and experimenting with the style and technique of a favorite master, he chose the pencil and chalk drawings of Michelangelo. The school purchased one of his drawings and hosted his first one-man show.

He strives for simplicity of composition in both his pencil drawings and his pastel landscapes where he uses a limited color palette along with light and tonal value to create mood and reflection.
