:: About The Artist ::
Karen Dunahee discovered the model horse hobby in 1987
when she found a subscription ad for The Model Horse
Gazette in a 'real horse' magazine. This was before the
Internet, when model horse enthusiasts communicated
primarily through the mail. It caught her interest and she has
been involved in the hobby ever since. Sculpting and painting
has been something she has always enjoyed, so becoming
involved in the model horse hobby seemed to be the ideal
way to combine her love of horses as well as art.

Her life long love of horses is evident in her unique equine
creations. Her distinctive style of paint and design ensures
that each piece possesses life like individuality and
expression. She is know for her intricate hand painted work
and expressive mule customs. She enjoys the challenge of
trying new techniques and watching each individual piece
evolve and 'come to life'.

Karen has received many honors and recognition for her
work. Her finishwork has been featured in magazines and has
graced the covers of The Hobby Horse News & The Model
Horse Gazette. Her work exists in collections around the
world, including the United States, Great Britain, Germany,
Canada, Sweden, Australia & New Zealand.

Karen's books are currently closed, however her artist's
choice pieces are often available. The Studio will give you a
preview of what she is working on now. The Sales page is
updated often with information on current sales and auctions,
so remember to check back frequently for news & updates.
