About the artist:

“Trudy Cole and Julia Merkel have been friends and colleagues for years. Despite a common and abiding love for horses, this is their first foray into showing their artwork together. Cole’s watercolor studies and drawings form the basis for an equine themed playing card project while Merkel’s horse and rider paintings explore partnerships and personalities.”
