Ingrid Oliphant
Ingrid Oliphant is a self-proclaimed savant artist: she says one day she could not paint, the next day painting became a third lung for her, a necessity for proper breathing. Ingrid works primarily with acrylics on canvas to share what she calls “Conversations with Creation”. Invariably, the result of these conversations lead to physical, emotional healing as well as spiritual revelation for viewers, especially those that are sensitive to energy.

About THE THINKER:
“This is a painting of a Lusitano stallion from Golegã, a charming town in the center of Portugal famous for its annual horse fairAll the top breeders attend this important event, the origins of which date back to the 18th century, with many of Portugal’s most refined breeds (such as the Lusitano, Sorraia, Alter Real, Garrano and Terceira) competing. 100 stallions and riders are paraded around the ring in their traditional finery, performing piaffes and passage and pirouettes. I was drawn to this horse because of his kind eye.” - Nancy B. Frank
