Werner Rentsch's devotion to his subject carries him up and down America's east coast. From Florida to Virginia, Maryland to New York, he tracks his equine models – race and Olympic horses as well as polo and work breeds – and captures them at rest in the familiarity of their surroundings.

Though he works predominantly in oil, Rentsch has also exhibited some limited edition prints and works in charcoal. Commissioned to paint formal portraits of many race and show horses, he is equally well known for his images of horses in informal landscapes.
