Equine and Wildlife painter Misty Lynn Auld sees the special beauty arising from the wild streak in every animal. Using various media, she strives to bring out that spirit in each creature she portrays, whether it be a family pet, a prized stallion or a deep forest dweller. In detailed realism, she captures each animal’s unique spirit and charisma. She aims to draw the viewer into the mind of the animal. For them to see and experience what the animal is experiencing. Even if it only lasts an instant...

Misty’s inspiration stems from scenes she finds at the local horse shows, farms, zoos and everyday environments around her home. Her own family, Collie, Pyrenees, and cats have also served as muses for her work.
