Artist Bio:
Tammy Tappan has dedicated her life and work to honoring the deep connection between horse and human. As an accomplished sculptor, painter, and co-founder of Equine Instincts, Tammy’s work reflects both technical mastery and a profound emotional resonance, cultivated over decades immersed in the equestrian world.
Her artistic journey evolved naturally from a lifetime spent loving horses, raising a family, and exploring the pursuit of authentic expression. Tammy’s personal style blends the practiced discipline of craftsmanship with the fluidity and perceived freedom of impressionism, resulting in artwork that captures both the spirit of the horse and the fleeting energy of a moment.
Working across multiple mediums, Tammy is known for her ability to translate the strength, grace, and essence of the horse into bronze sculptures and original paintings. Her series Once Upon A Horse explores the symbolism of equestrian artifacts—bits, saddles, spurs, and other objects that once bridged the silent communication between rider and horse.
In co-founding Equine Instincts, Tammy has extended her passion beyond the studio, curating an elevated art and lifestyle destination where collectors and enthusiasts can discover heirloom-quality pieces designed to reflect their legacy and connection to the equestrian lifestyle.
Tammy’s work has earned acclaim for its ability to stir emotion, invite reflection, and celebrate the undeniable bond that exists between horses, humans, and the spaces we call home.
