Artist Julia Persson-Morrill has had a life long interest in Dala Horses but didn't start to carve and paint them until just a few years ago. Some of the wooden horses are sold out of her studio, she can often be seen working on them out in her garden. She is happy to show the horses or share her skills with visitors all summer.

Folk Art Border Designs
What I love about painting the spindles on my wheelchair ramp is the opportunity to try 4 different designs on each one. It gives me lots of practice on my brushstrokes and a place to try variations of them to find which color combinations I like best.
The other exciting thing about it is that the ramp gets painted while I'm working out new designs and patterns.
Who knows? It may even help people remember where "that Dala Horse Lady" lives when they're looking for classes or horses to buy.
