Joni Monroe Beinborn

For over 30 years, Joni’s Ponies have captivated viewers with her ability to produce pastel paintings that come alive.

“I believe that when a drawing is created well in detail, it can elicit emotion that is far different than a photograph. I often look to my own horses to feel and send the true essence of the horse to incorporate into my work.”

Self-taught and highly collected, Joni has enjoyed many well-deserved accolades, including having been commissioned by the American Paint Horse Association to create portraits of the eight top award winners of 2015. She won the Steel Dust Award in 2014 and signature artist in 2017 for America’s Horse in Art. Her work has been featured in America’s Horse, Cowboys and Indians, and The Equine Chronicle.
