Trail of Painted Ponies

Summer 2007 Series

Wie-Tou

Artist, Barbara Janowitz, was immersed at an early age in both Indian art and culture and the riding life. Painting horses and Indian symbols on leather helped pay for her college tuition. It also inspired her to create a Pony whose power lies in the graphically creative arrangement of assorted spiritual symbols. “I wanted to include the Spirits that guide and protect us, and every one I’ve painted has ‘good medicine.’”
