Painted Horses

Opening Oct 5, 2018 at the MichaelAngelo Santa Cruz Gallery is "Painted Horses", a new collection of horse paintings by local artist Shirley Lehner-Rhoades.

These stunning original works are inspired by the residents and rescue stories of the Duchess Sanctuary and Santa Cruz area.

The Duchess Sanctuary was established in 2008 as an oasis for formerly abused, abandoned, neglected, and homeless horses and is operated by The Fund for Animals in partnership with The Humane Society of The United States.

The Duchess Sanctuary is a shelter for more than 190 rescued horses and donkeys on 1120 acres outside of Oakland, Oregon.
