Lisa Faulkenberry is a contemporary equine artist based in Bakersfield, California.

Her work explores the emotional and spiritual connection between horse and human—capturing moments of presence and unspoken understanding.

Working in acrylic, oil, graphite, and mixed media, her paintings move beyond traditional Western subjects into expressive, atmospheric, and symbolic imagery.

Rooted in the spirit of the horse and influenced by disciplines such as reined cow horse, cutting, and ranch life, her work ultimately speaks to something deeper: energy, relationship, and the unspoken bond between beings.

Her work unfolds through several interconnected series, each exploring different facets of presence, relationship, and the inner landscape of experience. While the horse remains a central thread, her paintings expand into broader themes—incorporating elements of the human figure, animals, and environment. Whether grounded in lived experience or drifting into more intuitive and symbolic space, each piece contributes to a larger exploration of relationship and the quiet dialogue that exists between beings.
