Artist and Photographer Stephanie Riggenbach

“Since an early age, I have been drawing horses. Horses have always been a major part of my life through my childhood, and still are today. I currently own 2 horses, an AQHA gelding, Mitch, and an APHA mare, Chick.”

“My favorite mediums are pencil (graphite), watercolor, and pastel / color pencil. My main focus was once on Western art, but recently, I have chosen to focus more on Amish Art as my subjects. I find this genre to be very appealing to me, as living in Ohio and being near Amish Country gives me an abundance of subjects. I enjoy capturing the detail in my subjects, and the personalities as well. Getting the mood of each subject is important as well, and that admiration is what led me down the road to becoming a professional artist.”
