Lesley Thiel

Lesley Thiel shies away from the description 'equestrian artist'. Although she is renowned for her extraordinary paintings of horses, her compositions could perhaps be better described as portraits, conveying the individual traits of each magnificent subject. Although she was born and educated in England, Lesley has lived most of her adult life in Germany, Switzerland and the USA. Having originally trained as a scientist and worked in various fields of scientific research, she formed her love of horses while visiting a friend's Stud in the United States.
