How it all started.

In the late 70s L. John Morris had the brainwave to start a society to project and promote equestrian art. With the help of founder members, including such notable artists as Terence Cuneo, Tom Coates, Neil Cawthorne and Norman Hoad, the SEA was born.

Featuring more of our Associate Members work, today we want to share a pastel by Associate Member Lorna Lancaster ASEA.Like many of our members, Lorna is multi-talented. As well as being a professional artist, Lorna is a musician, performing regularly playing bass guitar, and also playing and teaching saxophone, bass and flute. Lorna says; "Having a passion for horses since childhood, I have a compulsive desire to paint them. I enjoy painting the graceful shapes they create and I love the challenge of portraying movement. I particularly love painting sunlit scenes with dramatic shadows. I also enjoy painting people and landscapes. I work in pastels and mainly in Pan Pastels as they give me the feel of painting but in a dry medium.I enjoy exhibiting with the Society of Equestrian Artists because I know that it means I have reached a certain required standard in equine art and was particularly honoured to be promoted to an Associate Member a couple of years ago."You can see more of Lorna’s work at @lorna.lancaster.artist@Lorna Lancaster Artist on Facebook#societyofequestrianartists #equestrianart #associatemember#pastel ...

Following our hugely successful exhibition this year at the Garden Rooms at Tennants Auctioneers in Yorkshire, we are looking for suitable venues in other areas of the UK. We are planning ahead for the next few years and are looking in particular in Southern and Central areas. We need venues that are suitable to exhibit high quality work from leading equestrian artists, ideally with space for 140 paintings as well as sculptures. Exhibitions will be juried, from artworks submitted by our members in the UK and overseas. Please let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions!#venue#equestrianart#exhibition #societyofequestrianartists #horseinart ... See MoreSee Less

Introducing another of our newly promoted Associate Members, Alasdair Banks ASEA. Alasdair is based in Glasgow, and says; “A degree in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art was followed by a number of Arts Administration posts, during which I continued to exhibit my own work. I have been a full time Artist and Sculptor since 2002.My work is more about the movement of the horse and rider than trying to depict them realistically. Various Residencies including Olympia, Royal Windsor, Glorious Goodwood, Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Edinburgh International Festival have allowed me to develop my unique style usually in the public gaze.Combining ‘mixed methods’ help to maximise the impact. Conte, pastel, acrylic, charcoal and ink feature strongly. I also produce sculptures in bronze and ceramic as well as decorative tiles.Development of my Fine Art LIVE Project allows me to both sell my work and do large Painting Demonstrations at events like the International Horse Trials at Blair Castle (my favourite!). My Motorsport and Cityscape pictures have the same unique dynamic expression.”Janet Menzies, writing in ‘The Field’, said of Alasdair’s work; ‘...his Paintings of Racing especially have a real explosion of line...’ @alasdairbanks.art Some of these images have been cropped.#equestrianart #equestrianartist #racingart #horseracingart #equestrianlifestyle #equestrianlife #horseartistsofinstagram #horseart #horseartcollectors ...
