Unleash your innate power through the strength & wisdom of the horse.
Horses allow us to see new perspectives of ourselves, guiding personal growth and living authentically to our true selves.
My art creates a mindfully reflective, empowering space where viewers deepen connection with themselves. The powerful healing quality of horses is personified here, allowing emotional revelations, and honouring the animals that touch our lives.
​
Horses change lives, unlock your confidence & see the inherent value in your soul, the sauce that makes you uniquely special.
Tap into what's beneath the surface, encapsulated with equine essence, aiding self -esteem, personal development and gratitude.

About the artist
WHY I PAINT
My name is Aletia Thomas and I’m an equine artist with a DIFFERENCE! I’m so glad you’ve joined me here where you can discover more about my story and why I paint...
Through my art I can escape, I can focus the strong emotion I am feeling and let that energy loose on the canvas.
Horses are my symbol of FREEDOM; they have a gentle, understanding presence and yet they are powerful and knowing. They don’t care about how you look, how much money you have, about your past or any “labels” you place on yourself. They see you as you are, in this moment as an ENERGY, your raw form, how you move, reading your body’s language.
I grew up in Worcester England in a chaotic family home, where I'd often feel suppressed, misunderstood and finding myself fulfilling others’ plans & expectations for me. Looking for relief I remember discovering tv programs & novels about wild horses. Spending many hours in my imaginings, I could relate to the horses blending within their environment to escape the capture of humans.
​
This curiosity I had grew, as a teenager looking for solace, I found a herd of horses grazing contently local to where I lived! From then on, I spent as much time as I could around the horses, watching them interact with each other. I was captivated, struck by how kind, generous, patient, and respectful they were to each other. I saw them as teachers to how I would interact with them and others.

There is no doubt that horses hold a significant spiritual meaning to me and so whenever there was a self-led art project at school, college, university and onward to this day, horses have been my focal point to paint. Throughout my life of challenges, joys, fears, losses and triumphs, horses have been my GROUNDING stability. I believe we are better BALANCED human beings with nature and animals in our lives and the importance of living AUTHENTIC lives true to ourselves is paramount.
Despite drawing & using many media, Acrylic paint is my medium of choice. I like to use brushes and a variety of tools to work the paint, building texture and emotion into my paintings. Painting allows me to translate the horses expressive character & their teachings.
My playful use of colour dances between shadow & light.
Like a dance, my creative process takes many hours of composing & reflecting spending as much time with, as away from the canvas letting the painting reveal itself over time.
When I’m painting everything else falls away, I escape into a parallel world where there is no time, no judgement, just me and the canvas.
​
Like horses my acrylic paintings tap into what is beneath the surface, mirroring back at you new perspectives, unleashing your innate strength through this new guide.
My paintings honour the true essence of the horse, encapsulated with their gifts & healing qualities in your home like you're with the real thing!
Paintings here celebrate your journey of personal development with the horse, in a way that allows us to see a part of ourselves in them.
​
My art creates a mindfully reflective, empowering space where viewers deepen connection with themselves - filling you with a ZEST for life to take on your goals!
​
Our internal thoughts, mindfulness and wellbeing go hand in hand, so we need to first be compassionate & grateful to that special sauce that's unique to you.
My paintings aid self-esteem by uncovering what a horse sees beneath the surface - the inherent value in your soul.
Resonating your emotional discoveries within your living space, giving a luxurious vibe in your home.
"Horses are the catalyst in my art to uncover and celebrate our emotional revelations. Empowering us and fulfilling our lives."- Aletia
