Artist Statement:
“Watercolor has been
especially liberating”, says
Melanie Stoltz Brown. “Because
the watercolor is an active
fluid medium, it allows me to
more accurately express the
action and life of the
subject.”
Horses and art both came into
Melanie’s life at an early
age. She started riding
neighbors’ ponies, then
convinced her parents to buy
her a horse. Also interested
in animal biology, an avid
reader of horse books, young
Melanie told her folks: “You
know you cannot have just one
horse, because they are herd
animals!” With this persuasive
argument, she soon had three
horses. Her art began to
reflect the forms she saw
around her in her home state
of Missouri. Realistic
renditions of horses, pets,
and wildlife attracted the
attention of teachers and
classmates. Her first art
award came in fourth grade,
and she earned accolades in
high school and in regional
shows with figures and
portraits. Her fascination led
her into animal health.
Earning a BS degree in
biology, she pursued a
successful career in science,
but continued her art as a
hobby, selling commissioned
works. To balance her
scientific side and satisfy a
need to express her
appreciation of animals, she
participated in art classes...
