Artist Andrea Johns loves painting horses, pets and people in a realistic style and is becoming widely recognized for her inventive use of color in her unique Contemporary Style.

Andy’s work can be found in The American Saddlebred Museum, The Museum of the Morgan Horse, galleries, juried art shows, and international and domestic private collections. She attends horse shows throughout the country including the World Championships in Louisville and Oklahoma City, Lexington Junior League, Kansas City Royal and Dallas.

Featured on television – Good Morning Texas – and in publications such as National Horseman, The Morgan Horse, and Horses in Art, Andy’s paintings have a wide appeal. Her portraits have been selected by the Lexington Philharmonic, the Junior League of Lexington and the All American Cup to promote the arts, the annual horse show, and the breed. Her painting of William Shatner and All Glory was selected by the Shatners to promote the 2010 Featured Breyer Model Horse: All Glory. Her painting of Carson Kressley winning the World Championship with Enchanting Memories was selected by Carson to be displayed at the Saddlebred Museum’s 2011 Celebrities and Saddlebreds Exhibit.

Having earned a BS and MA in Art and English, Andy and her husband Steve, an architect, live in Texas. She is overjoyed to have pursued her passion as have their children. Daughter Christine is a Special Education teacher with an emphasis in dyslexia, and son Matt is a youth minister. He and his wife Mallory just became parents.

The artist is very grateful for the opportunities presented by her clients. She is currently accepting portrait commissions, lifetime treasures cherished by each generation.
