Sometimes less is more... In the sculptural tradition of dramatically emphasizing the facial features of a figurative work of art, we have created fine art busts to show just how spectacular these Painted Ponies are up close.

After completing her studies in art, music and fashion design in Hamburg, Germany, Ilse lived in South Africa and Spain before finding paradise in the tiny New Mexico village of Magdalena. There, Ilse writes, "one is blessed with amazingly wide horizons during the day and unrivaled clear views of the stars, milky way and other galaxies at night." Adorned with gold celestial formations that sparkle with semi-precious gems, her Pony epitomizes the artist’s gift for creating original and enchanting artworks.
