Don Rowntree Snowdrift Studio is a place for


the creation of unique model horse art- work by Lynn Cassels-Caldwell. Lynn specializes in hand painting highly detailed model horses with oil paints. Lynn started her equine art ca- reer as a youngster (her Mother was a professional artist), furthered her ex- tensive training in fine art & photog- raphy education in college, and worked as a horse portrait artist for over 20 years in Ontario, Canada. She primarily worked with oils, pastels & drawing, also producing equine prints and showing in commercial galleries as well. In addition, she owned, trained and showed her own Arabian horses.


Her grandmother owned a small


craft and gift store called “The Doll House”, which sold Breyer model horses. Lynn was born with an intense love of horses, playing endlessly with her models, and she learned to manage the Breyer account for the store, as a teenager. In 2000, her art career transi-


tioned into full time horse show pho- tography and equine graphic design, and she has worked at the interna- tional level as an official show photog- rapher. In 2014 Breyer Animal Cre-


ations, a division of Reeves Interna- tional, purchased one of Lynn’s photographs of the Clydesdale stal- lion, SBH Phoenix for the packaging of their portrait model of him. This reignited her love of model horses! She began using her existing art skills to paint models and limited edition artist’s resin sculptures, which have been very well received, and even won many model show champi- onships, including national champi-


onships at the North American Nation- als show in Kentucky. This year, Lynn went through a


juried selection process, and was ac- cepted to participate in the BreyerFest Virtual Artisan Gallery, joining excep- tional artists, sculptors, and model horse related artisans. She will be of- fering for sale some resins, models and medallions (small bas relief por- trait pieces), which she has hand painted with oil paints. These will be available exclusively on her Snowdrift Studio Facebook Page from July 9 - July 11. More of her work can be seen at her web site: www.snowdrift-stu- dio.com BreyerFest is Breyer Animal


Creations’ annual celebration of horses, and could be considered the largest model horse industry event in the world. Its normally held at The Kentucky Horse Park - this year’s event has transitioned to a virtual ex- perience! It is shaping up to be a fab- ulous event that will combine online photo showing, interviews with per- formers, virtual equine demonstra- tions, beautiful exclusive models, and fun hobby-related activities. Breyer- Fest will take place July 9-12, 2020 online at BreyerHorses.com and on Breyer social media! The participating Artisans will be featured on that web site. Honouring the 70th Anniversary of Breyer and 31 years of BreyerFest, you do not want to miss this incredible celebration of the horse! Today, Reeves International is


more focused than ever on its signa- ture brand, Breyer Horses. For gener- ations, Breyer has consistently maintained its position as the premiere brand of horse models and col- lectibles, with an unmatched commit-


ment to authenticity, quality and real- ism, continuing a legacy that began in 1950 and is just as relevant today. Having owned horses for about


30 years has shaped Lynn’s style of re- alism. With the perspective of being a horse person herself, the goal is al- ways that the horse must look great in anything that she produces. Lynn states, “Its PASSION.


Plain and simple. Passion for that magnificent creature called horse is what makes me. I was born with that passion, and


it has lead me on paths and to places that I never expected. I see the beauty and humble spirit of the horse, and that drives me to create in multiple mediums. I really can’t help it, I just have to do it! This passion has shaped my life in all its facets, mentally, spir- itually & physically, but most of all creatively. I’ll use anything really, to express what the horse expresses to me, and through me. I’m honoured and thrilled to be a part of the Breyer- Fest Artisan Gallery this year!” She is always keen for a chal-


lenge, so its no surprise that difficult dapple coat patterns are most intrigu- ing to her. She works mostly by com- mission, creating special one of a kind dream horse models, or portrait pieces for her clients, all individually by hand. She rarely offers finished art outside of commissions, so BreyerFest is a great opportunity for her to do that. Her career path has followed a rather circular route, bringing her back now to her artistic roots, but horses will always remain at her centre.
