WILD WEST CAFE FEATURES EQUINE PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER: THE EQUESTRIAN VAGABOND - MERRI MELDE
The award-winning equine photographer and writer The Equestrian Vagabond, Merri Melde, will be exhibiting her international photography at the newly re-opened Wild West Bakery and Espresso on February 5, 2010 in Eagle, Idaho, from 4:30-8:30 PM, as part of the First Friday Art In Eagle monthly gallery and art walk.
The following Friday, February 12th, the Wild West will host a Horsemen & Women's Open House, featuring a reception with Melde, and a wine tasting with local winery, Woodriver Cellars, from 6-9 PM.
Wild West owner Naomi Preston and photographer Melde met through endurance riding, and Preston is a big fan of Melde's work. "I immediately knew I wanted Merri's photos hanging in here. Her art is stunning!"
Melde has had great opportunities to work at her art over the years. "As far back as I can remember," Melde says, "I've been obsessed with horses.
"The pursuit of horse adventures has taken me around the world, as a horse rider, photographer, and writer; as a racehorse groom, carriage driver, endurance horse conditioner, rabid obsessed endurance rider, Tevis Cup finisher.
"Somewhere along the way a camera jumped into my hands and the horses began telling their own visual stories.
"In my varied jobs and my travels, I find that the horses always have a tale to tell. I aim to keep following them where they lead me and recording what they have to say."
