"Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space, there must be some sweet pastured place, where creeks sing on and tall trees grow, a place where forgotten horses can go." - Author Unknown

Bear Step - Gayle Hunt
In contemporary horse circles, many regard with some indifference the Appaloosa as merely a color breed, the bearer of wild and defiant, tenacious and untamable spots. Some of us feel the color more than see it. We are taken back to the mountains and meadows of our Northwest, and drawn to a people whose heart sculpted the enduring spirit of the Appaloosa.
Dawn Trinkler - No Brushes
Dawn realized her talent and love at the age of nine. She pursued the arts while attending Shawnee Mission High School. After receiving a National Nomination from New York in High School, Dawn attended KU as an Illustration major. However, she finished her BFA in painting with minors in photography and illustration. During Dawn's final years at KU she developed carpal tunnel and was unable to use a brush to apply paint to canvas. During that time she was required to complete her portfolio for finals. She brought in every mark-making object she could find, stretched a 4'x5' canvas, and proceeded to search for a new way to paint. Out of this experience the No Brushes technique came to be.
