Welcome to Ulla Strickland’s Equine Design Studio. Her
artwork—which is by no means limited to horses, even though
they are her preferred subject—is done from photographs in
graphite or watercolor, depending on your preference.
Whether you commission a study of your favorite horse(s) or
a portrait of your children—the possibilities are endless.
We invite you to browse the galleries and choose from
originals, giclées or prints.
Some of Ulla’s work was recently shown at the 2010 GDCTA
Awards Gala.

Art in whichever form it appears expresses an individual’s
personality and my art is straight forward, positive and mostly
self-explanatory. There is a good side and a dark side to
everyone; I prefer to communicate my brighter side. After
all, the media has taken on the job of exposing the ugly and
the bad; I’d like to picture the good and the beautiful
without being naïve or child-like and thus, balance things out
a little.
I live for the beauty in nature, it is my inspiration, and art is
my spiritual release. Something catches my eye, its beauty
leaving me in awe, taking my breath away - I feel the urge to
paint it. Since horses have defined my life from an early age,
and their beauty of body and spirit is undeniable, they are
found in the majority of my artwork.
In my early drawings, the more detailed they became, the
more I was able to experience the materials being created
from my pencils – a cashmere scarf, the smooth coolness of
glass, the softness of a muzzle, the brightness of an eye.
Later, watercolors started to emerge; the preferred color
Blue reflecting my inner balance, calmness and stability. I
have managed to create a perfectly balanced life for myself
and hope to convey and to share some of that. The best
thing someone can do for me is be genuinely delighted by
what they see in my art and feel good for the rest of the day.
