About Floored By Art Studio

Hi, I’m Cheryl — an artist, horse lover, and the person behind Floored By Art Studio.

I haven’t owned a horse in more than 40 years. But I never stopped being a horse person.

I got my first horse when I was 12, after years of dreaming about having one. Horses became a big part of my life through my teens and early twenties. I rode, worked at a barn, cared for rental horses, cleaned more stalls than I could ever count, learned to jump, gave beginner rider lessons, helped our trainer steady horses, went on trail rides, and spent some of the happiest years of my young life around horses and the people who loved them.

Eventually, my life changed, and I no longer owned horses. But that connection never really goes away.

The Horse Life Stays With You 🐴

If you have ever loved a horse, I probably don't have to explain it.

You remember the cool mornings. The smell of the barn. The sound of horses waiting to be fed. The work, the dirt, the sweat, and the horsehair that somehow gets everywhere.

But mostly, you remember the horse.

That relationship is what inspires much of the artwork I create today.

I want my designs to feel familiar to horse people. Something that reminds you of a horse you love now, one you loved years ago, or maybe the horse you're still dreaming about.

Art Made by Someone Who Understands

I have been an artist for most of my life, beginning with traditional art and eventually moving into digital art.

Today, now in my sixties, I create using a combination of AI, Photoshop, and other digital techniques to bring my ideas to life. Floored By Art Studio is where my love of creating and my love of horses have come together.

I create the artwork and design the products myself. I work with professional production partners to make the physical products, but every design begins here with me.

Some pieces are beautiful. Some are fun. Some celebrate a particular part of horse life or breed. And sometimes I simply create something because it makes me happy to look at it.

I hope it does the same for you.

Because I don't think the things we surround ourselves with are always just things. Sometimes they're little reminders of who we are and what we love.

So if you're a horse person too, welcome. I consider you family.

You're among horse people here.
