Marina Haycroft

My name is Marina Haycroft and I’m a Brisbane-based horse portrait artist creating commission based works and also original equine art. I have enjoyed all things equestrian and have been drawing horses for as long as I can remember. My drive for creating art has stemmed from a deep and profound affinity with horses.

I create art because...

It allows me to feel more connected to horses and create something that can be enjoyed by others too

I am different to most artists because...

My aim is to capture the unique personality, essence and character of each horse I depict to immediately evoke a sense of the horse’s presence, bringing it alive.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

The life-like presence of the subject, the soul. Feeling of connectedness.
