Hermes - Preppy Pony Collection

The Galloping Gallic: Meet Hermes

Forget the stuffy, traditional horse portraits you see in every hallway in Louisville. This is Hermes, and he is a masterclass in "Palm Beach meets the Kentucky Derby," with a distinct Parisian flair.

Living in Louisville, Kentucky, equestrian art is practically a requirement, but for a long time, it just wasn't me. That changed at 3:00 AM one morning when I woke up with a vision: horses infused with pattern, modern color, and sharp, graphic edges. Hermes is a result of that creative fever dream - one of only 15 original pieces in the exclusive Preppy Pony Collection.

The Story Behind the Brush

"I wanted this style for my own family room refresh, and once I started, I couldn't stop. I feverishly painted 15 of them, imagining new patterns as fast as I could move the brush. Because these horses are so high-fashion, I named each one after an iconic designer. Hermes, of course, represents the absolute pinnacle of French equestrian luxury and that signature, unmistakable pop of orange."

The Details

Hermes is captured in a dynamic, forward-striding profile against a playful backdrop of hand-painted candy-pink and white vertical stripes. His silhouette is rendered in a sophisticated, olive-green tone, giving him an understated strength. The focal point is his stunning espresso-brown saddle blanket, adorned with a bold, graphic 'X' in vibrant neon orange and finished with a textural fringe of mint green.
