Perched high up on the Pakamisa Mountain Range in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is the exclusive lodge of the Pakamisa Private Game Reserve.
Nestled below, in the low lands, are the Pakamisa stables, home to a collection of magnificent Arabian Horses, all superbly trained by the owner, Isabella Stepski.
There can be fewer greater thrills than exploring the wild African Bush on horseback.
It was here that artist Graham Kearney developed his unbridled love for Arabian horses.
Graham is one of South Africa’s up and coming wildlife artists, and thanks to Isabella’s passion for horses, her enthusiasm rubbed off on to Graham, launching him into a new dimension where he has managed to capture the true spirit of the horse into his art.

As Graham had shown an interest in the horses, being a horseman himself, she encouraged him to photograph her favourite horse, Baron. The painting is, as she describes, ‘Outstanding!’
Baron was just the beginning, and Graham has not looked back. He loves every minute he spends photographing, interacting and painting these amazing and truly spiritual animals. He firmly believes this is his true calling in the art world. Recently he has completed commissions for notable horse breeders.
One can only dream of painting like Graham with his formidable talent.
