Mary Schoenman Lucas is originally from Mansfield Ohio, and her
interest in art surfaced early. After graduating from high school, she
attended the University of Wisconsin Art Extension. For a while she and
her husband were making their living in the race horse industry, and
during that period she painted many equine portraits for horse owners,
trainers and jockeys. Living at various times in Oklahoma, Texas, and
Montana, she found inspiration in both the cowboy atmosphere and the
magnificent scenery of the Rocky Mountains. Mary has lived in Kentucky
since 1980, and she currently divides her energies between helping to
run her husband's pool business, raising paint and quarter horses,
and teaching art to over 30 students, a number of whom have won
awards in local and national art competitions. While caring for all these
many responsibilities, Mary still reserves time for painting, and
continues to find pleasure in exploring western and equine themes.
"I am an equine artist, a race horse enthusiast and a breeder of speed
bred paint and quarter horses. Our farm, Oak Ridge Farms is located
on 195 rural acres outside of Williamstown, Kentucky which is halfway
between Lexington, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. This is one of my
most recent paintings, it is showing "Brother Derek" in the lead as he
finishes to win the San Rafael Stakes at Santa Anita Racetrack in
California. "Brother Derek" is the current favorite to win the 2006
Kentucky Derby. I painted this for Mary Caldwell of Eagle Point, Oregon
who raised this outstanding three year old thoroughbred colt. I also
enjoy photography and I incorporate many of my own horses in my art
through both photos and paintings. You can see my artwork on display
at the Grant County Tourism Center at the Dry Ridge Outlet Mall, Dry
Ridge, KY. Our farm website is http://www.oakridgepaints.com."
