Hye Joung Tibby is an award winning Oil painter who primarily does portraits of people and Animals. In a remarkably short period time, she has become one of the top realist portrait artists in Southern California. Her brushstrokes on canvas reveal tight rendering of realism and also lose touch of impressionism. Her goal for every painting she creates is to make the subject come to life.

Horse lovers can qualify to win a custom oil painting of the horse of their choice.

Winning Bid will get custom 18 x 24 Oil Portrait

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED depicts a country divided and inspires great hope for the protection of all horses. This film follows the lives of America’s majestic horses across dramatic backdrops of America’s beautiful countryside and with vivid expert testimony it explores the secret world of bidding circles and reveals the surprising hidden forces that drive an unspeakable industry. It’s a tender yet honest look at the reality that our American horses are born into, the love, joy and respect they give us, and in contrast, the disposable mindset of those who profit from this sordid industry.

Hye Joung Tibby has strong love for animals especially horses. She recently painted portrait of ‘Go Between’ who is the winner of 2008 Pacific Classic. It was commissioned by Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
