Welcome to the SHERYL LEISURE GALLERY

heryl Leisure bought her first Breyer horse in 1969 and collected until her teen years. When she met her husband, they attended toy shows and swap meets looking for car models for his collection. That's how she got back into the hobby at the age of 20. Her involvement quickly escalated and she began to design T-shirts with model horses on them and began Horse-Power Graphics in 1986. Sheryl also published her own hobby magazine, The Model Horse Trader, which began in 1991 to fill the need for collectors to buy and sell models. The West Coast Model Horse Collector's Jamboree began in 1992 as an alternative to BreyerFest for this side of the Mississippi.

Sheryl has been drawing and painting models since she was a child and had her first professional oil painting lessons at age 13. After accepting a contract to paint collector plates for The Disney Store in 1994, it was a natural transition to use the production painting studio to paint model horses. She's developed a few favorite air brush techniques and also has a knack for mixing color. Painting models is something that she truly enjoys, and she hopes to continue to be able to take custom orders as her busy schedule permits.
