Si\u00e2n has been drawing and painting horses since she could first hold a pencil. A lifelong love of horses has led to her specialising in equestrian subjects, but her portfolio also includes a wide range of animals and portraiture. She is a keen observer of animal behaviour, and she particularly enjoys the challenge of drawing from life, whether from animals or at life drawing classes. She bases her work not only on these observations, but also from an extensive knowledge of anatomy and movement. Past commissions have included \u2018Jingle Bell V; winner of the Yang di Pertua Gold Cup\u2019, for the Penang Turf Club, and \u2018Ricochet\u2019 for World Three Day Event Champion, Blyth Tait.<\/p>\n
Si\u00e2n has been an active member of the SEA for many years and is a Trustee. She was elected a Full Member of the SEA in 2005 and has been a regular exhibitor in the annual \u2018Horse in Art\u2019 Exhibitions. She is a past winner of the PQ International Prize for the best Polo exhibit and the prize for the Best Hunting Picture. In 2025 she won the Michael Harding Prize for the best painting in a water based medium at the \u2018Horse in Art\u2019 Exhibition.<\/p>\n
