Helen's love for horses began in childhood on a housing estate in England, surrounded by farmland. That love never faded, instead, it grew into a lifelong passion expressed through her art. Now based in the Noosa Hinterland, she shares her days with her two horses, three dogs, two cats, and a spirited goose named Katie.

Primarily an equine artist, Helen also paints dogs, cats, wildlife, and occasionally, people. Self-taught and deeply driven, her favourite medium is acrylic, though she also works in pastels, coloured pencil, graphite, and scratchboard. Her artwork is known for its lifelike detail and emotional depth, often mistaken for photography but always filled with soul.

Helen’s work is held by collectors across Australia and around the world, and she has exhibited in prestigious settings like the World Polo Championships and Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort.

As a long-time supporter of the Brumbies, Helen brings their spirit to life with every brushstroke, capturing not just what they look like, but who they are.

Suzanne has always been passionate about writing and illustrating, leading her to establish Redhead Publishing, where she brings colorful children's books to life. Her debut book, The Banksia Tree, is the first in a series of local stories set in the Redhead area, reflecting her deep connection to her community. ​

Beyond her publishing ventures, Suzanne is an accomplished artist known for her stunning paintings of Brumbies. Her work, such as the piece titled "Sultan the Black," captures the spirit and beauty of these wild horses. Each artwork comes framed and ready to hang, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Suzanne. ​

Suzanne’s deep connection to the Brumbies is evident in every brushstroke, and we’re proud to walk alongside her as she uses both her art and publishing platform to raise awareness, inspire action, and spark conversations that matter.

Raised on a rural property in Queensland, Maegan’s early life was immersed in nature, where her love for animals and wildlife took root. That connection became the foundation for her artistic path, which now includes some of the most unique and powerful wildlife artwork in the country.

Now based in Victoria, Maegan uses an unconventional technique known as fumage, or as she cheekily calls it, painting with fire. This rare method uses soot from an open flame, etched and detailed by hand to reveal ethereal, hauntingly beautiful images of Australia’s wildlife. Her work explores the delicate tension between humanity and nature, often portraying animals in the very element, fire, they’ve adapted to survive.

Maegan’s art has received international recognition. She’s a six-time semi-finalist in the prestigious Art Renewal Center competitions, with multiple published works and the honour of being named an ARC Living Artist, the youngest among 13 Australians. Her work has also been selected for the Lunar Codex Polaris Archive, set to launch to the Moon in 2025, preserving creative works for future generations.

Her art now lives in collections around the world, and she is proudly represented by Morpeth Gallery in the Hunter Valley. Every piece Maegan creates is not just visually stunning.

Maegan has generously supported the Brumby cause with her time, talent, and heart, using her art to help raise awareness and contribute to the preservation of their place in Australia’s wild landscape.

For over 14 years, Ian Brown has ventured deep into the heart of the Snowy Mountains, often hiking countless kilometres through rugged terrain, wild weather, and breathtaking isolation. With camera in hand and purpose in heart, he captures what many will never witness firsthand—the raw, untamed beauty of the Brumbies, the whisper of ancient trees, the delicate resilience of wildflowers, and the quiet presence of native wildlife.

But for Ian, this work is more than just photography. It’s about connection. It's about honouring the lives of the wild horses he comes to know, like Scout, a proud stallion and great leader whose spirit left a lasting imprint. Scout was Ian’s favourite Brumby, a vigilant protector always on alert, watching over his mob with unwavering presence.

That constant awareness earned him the name Scout. Tragically, Scout’s life was taken during the devastating summer fires of 2020 in Kosciuszko. His loss is one Ian still carries.

Ian’s photography is a living tribute, not only to the land, but to the Brumbies who roam it. Each image tells a story of resilience, kinship, and the fragile balance between freedom and threat. It’s not about chasing the perfect shot, it’s about preserving the truth of what exists out there, and what we risk losing.

Through his lens, Ian shares the spirit of the mountains and its wild inhabitants with the world, keeping their memory alive, one photo at a time.
