Aletia Thomas grew up in suburban Worcester UK in a chaotic family environment, where suppression, misunderstanding and high expectations were frequent burdens. Longing for relief Aletia found solace amongst a herd of local horses, spending many hours studying their interactions, behaviour and generosity to each other. Seeing them as kindred spirits Aletia felt a sense of belonging amongst horses, could relate to them and became deeply inspired to draw and paint them whenever she couldn’t be with the herd.

Her artistic pursuits continued through school, college and into Aberystwyth University where she attained her BA Fine Arts degree in 2010. Since then, she’s featured in a number of galleries (currently represented by Tides Art Gallery in Mumbles) and mixed/solo exhibitions. She has joined artist association’s AAA (Animal Artist Association) & SEA (Society of Equine Artists) where a number of her works have been shortlisted to represent them and received awards.

She enjoys connecting with collectors online, sharing & selling art through her online presence. Her art exudes equine inspiration to commercial & private settings collected across the UK and Australia. Giving a luxurious contemporary touch to any country home.

Aletia believes in supporting charities through the sales of her art including Return to Freedom that support mustangs that have inspired her craft. Aletia currently lives in Swansea UK with her young family.
