Makenna Burton Studio Oil painting in StL
Original Works • Prints and Stationary • Commissions Makenna Burton is a St.

Louis–based artist and lifelong equestrian whose oil paintings are deeply inspired by her life with horses. Drawing from years spent around the barn, Makenna explores the quiet, emotional connections between horses, humans, and other animals. Her equine-centered works often evoke a sense of freedom, nostalgia, and companionship, capturing moments that feel both intimate and expansive. Through the

use of soft light, open landscapes, and a subtle sense of atmosphere, Makenna creates scenes that feel grounded in reality and slightly magical. Gentle interactions between figures frequently appear in her work, reinforcing themes of shared presence in the natural world. Burton’s paintings invite viewers to slow down and reflect on the quiet, often overlooked relationships that shape our lives with animals and the landscapes we inhabit.

Packing online orders makes my heart soar. ❤️ Being able to make art full time still feels a very long way off, but every time I get a sale, a little piece of my heart says "maybe".
This is my 23rd order from my website. A selection of prints headed to Tenessee!!
23 online orders is objectively not a lot, but to me, it feels incredible! I am so happy to send these to their new home.

Knowing my art is hanging in people's homes is the most wild feeling! I am so grateful!!

Print sale is still going on - 50% OFF all my original prints!
I found a new printing company and I am upgrading my ink and paper quality! Which means a full overhaul of my print inventory. I am selling the remaining prints on sale until they're gone, and then introducing gicleé quality, open and limited editions. ❤️

Exciting, scary, expensive small business steps! 😵‍💫 Imposter syndrome is so real but I'm just gonna keep going!!

I don't usually share my references, but here is a good example of how I use them! 😊

The original photo is from a photographer named Karen Broemmelsick who shares her photos for artist use in a private Facebook group. Its a great resource to me and and many other artists! I loved the lighting and grouping of horses, but tweaked some colors and put them on the Mesa.

Kind of interesting to see how one turns into the other!
