PUBLICATION & CONTEST HISTORY


​Cover Art


Cover art for JAHVMA Vol. 70, Spring 2023
Journal of American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
Betsy (fine art giclée print, open edition, on archival paper from an 8.5” x 8.5” pencil drawing) is the work of artist Nancy K. Camp and depicts a Belgian draft mare. In 2011, Nancy filmed and documented a local Idaho rancher using a draft team to feed cattle in winter. One head shot inspired her to create a portrait of this kind, hardworking mare.
