The application of vivid colors and paint manipulation give Werner's works a unique expression for which she is known. Her Equine series is an exploration of an animal that has fascinated her since shildhood. "I consider horses to be the most beautiful of species" Werner says. "The way light plays against their curves and their recurring appearance in myths world-wide make them irresistible to paint". Werner is influenced by a variety of moderniest and expressive artists, including the Bay Area Society of Six. She has studied painting in the Lake Tahoe and Mendocino coast areas of California since 1995, favoring sujects with underlying personal symbolism. When not painting, Werner relishes life in the Sierra Nevada with her family and practices landscape architecture. Her art is found in private collections thourghout the United States.
