Self Portrait by Artist

A life long passion for horses and art has led Maria Trott down a comfortable path over the years. She left the city graphic artist's office in favour of long hours of training, riding and painting horses on her 60 acres of bush land on the mid north coast of NSW Australia. It is there Maria has found the space and freedom to indulge her artistic instinct and her passion for horses.

Both were given a push by family friend and noted Australian artist Arthur Murch. Maria spent many hours in his company during childhood years and he nourished her budding talent by teaching her to 'construct' a horse. Years of schooling followed but it failed to spark more than a passing technical interest in landscapes and still life work - it was portraiture and horses that moved her. And they still do in many parts of her life.

Nowadays Maria has a small studio inside her house. In it she has built up an enviable reputation as an equine artist and portrait painter and also created a successful graphics arts business specialising in advertising layouts, brochures, logo design, business cards and labels.

Maria's greatest sense of accomplishment comes from a client's reaction to a finished piece of commissioned artwork - which explains why , faced with having to choose between art and horses, this horse-mad woman would pursue art.

 

Providing, of course, she is too old to ride.
