Art Show: “Color Between the Reins” by Lena Knudson
Sunday, March 8
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Reception: Sunday, March 8, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Show: March 1 through 31, whenever we’re open
“Color Between the Reins” is a watercolor exhibition by artist Lena Knudson, on view at the Dobbs Ferry Library throughout the month of March. This collection celebrates the versatility and spirit of the horse through scenes of various equine disciplines, often depicted alongside their riders.
Each painting pairs richly detailed, three-dimensional like horses, with bold, two-dimensional patterned backgrounds filled with vibrant color. This intentional contrast creates a dynamic visual tension, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between motion and stillness, realism and abstraction. The striking use of color and pattern enhances the emotional presence of each subject, encouraging both reflection and connection.
As an equestrian and lifelong horse lover, Knudson draws inspiration from the unique balance horses embody—immense power and athleticism, softened by gentleness and grace. Her work seeks to honor not only their beauty, but their adaptability and the deep bond they share with humans across disciplines.
“Color Between the Reins” offers a fresh perspective on equine art, blending technical detail with expressive design to create a thought-provoking and visually engaging experience for audiences of all ages.
For more information, you can find her website here!
Lena Knudson is a watercolor artist known for her striking realism and bold color saturation, challenging expectations of the medium. She grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and graduated from Dobbs Ferry High School in 2012. Introduced to watercolor by her grandmother, she further developed her skills through the International Baccalaureate Art program, where she was encouraged to explore diverse subjects and techniques.
After high school, Knudson became a Special Education teacher, working with middle and high school students in North Carolina and Virginia. She paused her art practice during this time before reconnecting with watercolor during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a largely self-taught artist, she developed a style focused on hyperrealism and saturated color.
In 2021, she founded Bristles and Design and has exhibited at the Cameron Art Museum, The Black Iris Social Club, and Flytrap Brewing. Her latest collection, “Color Between the Reins”, reflects her deep connection to horses and redefines the expressive potential of watercolor.

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!
Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.
And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.
Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.
Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.
After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

The unassuming young heroine of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca finds her life changed overnight when she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome and wealthy widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Rescuing her from an overbearing employer, de Winter whisks her off to Manderley, his isolated estate on the windswept Cornish coast—but there things take a chilling turn. Max seems haunted by the memory of his glamorous first wife, Rebecca, whose legacy is lovingly tended by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. As the second Mrs. de Winter finds herself increasingly burdened by the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, she becomes determined to uncover the dark secrets that threaten her happiness, no matter the cost.

Art Show: “Color Between the Reins” by Lena Knudson
Sunday, March 8
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Reception: Sunday, March 8, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Show: March 1 through 31, whenever we’re open
“Color Between the Reins” is a watercolor exhibition by artist Lena Knudson, on view at the Dobbs Ferry Library throughout the month of March. This collection celebrates the versatility and spirit of the horse through scenes of various equine disciplines, often depicted alongside their riders.
Each painting pairs richly detailed, three-dimensional like horses, with bold, two-dimensional patterned backgrounds filled with vibrant color. This intentional contrast creates a dynamic visual tension, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between motion and stillness, realism and abstraction. The striking use of color and pattern enhances the emotional presence of each subject, encouraging both reflection and connection.
As an equestrian and lifelong horse lover, Knudson draws inspiration from the unique balance horses embody—immense power and athleticism, softened by gentleness and grace. Her work seeks to honor not only their beauty, but their adaptability and the deep bond they share with humans across disciplines.
“Color Between the Reins” offers a fresh perspective on equine art, blending technical detail with expressive design to create a thought-provoking and visually engaging experience for audiences of all ages.
For more information, you can find her website here!
Lena Knudson is a watercolor artist known for her striking realism and bold color saturation, challenging expectations of the medium. She grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and graduated from Dobbs Ferry High School in 2012. Introduced to watercolor by her grandmother, she further developed her skills through the International Baccalaureate Art program, where she was encouraged to explore diverse subjects and techniques.
After high school, Knudson became a Special Education teacher, working with middle and high school students in North Carolina and Virginia. She paused her art practice during this time before reconnecting with watercolor during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a largely self-taught artist, she developed a style focused on hyperrealism and saturated color.
In 2021, she founded Bristles and Design and has exhibited at the Cameron Art Museum, The Black Iris Social Club, and Flytrap Brewing. Her latest collection, “Color Between the Reins”, reflects her deep connection to horses and redefines the expressive potential of watercolor.

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.
And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.
Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.
Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.
After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.
