Ransom

Strong, elegant and awe inspiring, that is how Canadian born artist Niki Woehler describes her amazing horse Ransom. She wanted him to evoke a sense of mystery and curiosity about what this incredible animal was up to. Niki named the horse Ransom because she wanted everyone to feel this horse had a real edge to it. We know that once you see him on display, you will know that the spirit around him is something very special.

Niki has always loved challenging herself by exploring new art projects and ideas.  She had only done one 3-dimensional piece of art before Ransom. But ever since she spent the entire first night cleaning and preparing it to be brought to life, this horse has grown into something that has totally captivated her heart.  

Niki has created a lot of beautiful art pieces for charity over the years. She is especially excited about the possibility that Barrett Jackson, which sponsored Ransom, will raise a lot of money for charity when Ransom is auctioned off in April.  Half of the proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association which was chosen by Barrett Jackson as its beneficiary. The other half will go to the Scottsdale Rotary Club Foundation which sponsors numerous activities in Scottdale including scholarships for worthy high school graduates in Scottsdale.
