Barby Eller Schacher, a talented pastel artist specializing in Western Art, Equestrian Art, and Wildlife Art, draws inspiration from her childhood on a small cattle ranch and her current surroundings in the Pacific Northwest. Growing up overlooking the Clearwater River Valley in Kamiah, Idaho, horses were a significant part of her upbringing, leading to a lifelong passion for capturing their beauty through art. Despite occasional scoldings from teachers for sketching horses during classes, Barby's love for drawing persisted alongside her love for riding.
The rugged beauty of the mountainous ranch where Barby spent her childhood provided ample inspiration for her artwork, which often features wildlife, cattle, and horses. Drawing has always been a cherished pastime for Barby, who is a self-taught artist with a unique style cultivated through trial and error and studying the techniques of other artists. Her detailed and realistic western-themed paintings reflect her deep connection to the natural world and her childhood experiences on the ranch.
As a member of several prestigious art associations, including WAOW, AWA, and WARA, Barby's work has been recognized and celebrated within the artistic community.
