Maryanne Lillecrapp Artist Profile


Maryanne's love of the racing arena has been with her since she was a young child. The Oakbank Races, The Adelaide Cup and country race meetings are such vivid memories.

These wonderful memories inspired her to capture the detail in her work that relays not only the spirit of the horses, but the feeling that the horses are really coming towards you at a great pace.

Maryanne’s work now hangs in the private homes and offices of the many famous winners and owners, trainers and jockeys through out Australia and the World, including America, England, Geneva Ireland, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Maryanne has been showered with accolades from all commissioners and people who have viewed her work from around the world and has painted famous horses. Maryanne loves her work, she loves the horses and it’s her wish to be commissioned by people who share the same passion to recreate ´the moment´.
