Ashley Tolton Art, Equestrian Fine Art

I’m a retired professional show jumper, from the San Francisco Bay Area, who married a cowboy and now lives on a ranch in a very small town in Eastern Oregon. I received my degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and Spanish, but as of early 2024, I began taking classes at the New York Academy of Art, with an emphasis on atelier/old masters techniques in both drawing and oil painting. When I’m not painting, I can be found jumping my KWPN gelding, Wilbur or trying to travel the world and experience new things.

I have an equestrian focused practice that celebrates the beauty, tradition, and the deep connections found within the equestrian lifestyle. Things that as a professional rider myself, I experienced intimately on a daily basis. Each painting is created with intention, using high-quality, archival materials to craft heirloom works of art that speak to collectors all around the world. My style combines classic techniques with a contemporary sensibility, capturing not only the physical presence of the horse, but also their individual characters, in an elegant and sophisticated manner.

I work with clients and collectors who share a deep appreciation for the equestrian lifestyle— who value craftsmanship, tradition, and the artistry of timeless pieces. Whether you're commissioning a custom portrait or selecting a limited edition fine art print, my goal is to create meaningful work that reflects the alluring opulence of the equestrian world and elevates any interior with quiet sophistication.

Thank you for being part of this journey—and for honoring the horse through art.
