Introducing: The Stirrup Collection

The French fashion house Hermès and its signature orange color are known around the world, but most people probably aren’t aware that Hermès began as a harness maker in 1837 in Paris. The brand has maintained its equestrian roots as a title sponsor of Wellington’s world-renowned Winter Equestrian Festival, which is what inspired me to create this painting for my residency with Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the Wish You Were Here grand exhibition.

For the Stirrup Collection, I painted directly onto an authentic, 100% silk Hermès scarf, inspired by its founder’s collection of stirrups from around the world. From there, I built a custom wood support for the scarf, just as Hermès crafts made-to-measure harnesses and saddles.

My original painting sold within minutes of the exhibition’s opening to a dear collector and friend, but prints are available on the shop in a variety of sizes and frame options.
