TOM PAULY - Horse <strong>Art</strong>ist<br />

It was the caricature of President Richard M. Nixon that Thomas Allen Pauly drew in the fifth grade<br />

that initially sparked his interest in art, a piece copied from Mad <strong>Magazine</strong>’s legendary cartoonist Mort<br />

Drucker. But, it was an invitation in 1978 from his friend to witness his father’s harness horse, Rusty<br />

Win capture the feature race at Sportsman’s Park that began the burgeoning artist’s career..<br />

From that day, demand for his artwork only grew. In 1989, he portrayed the who’s who in racing at<br />

his home track, Arlington Park International Racecourse. He has photographed and portrayed every<br />

Kentucky Derby champion since1999.<br />

Pauly was commissioned by Churchill Downs as the official portrait artist of the 2006 Kentucky Derby.<br />

His portrait of the champion Barbaro was published as the track’s commemorative portrait. “They<br />

made 10,000 prints of my painting and gave<br />

them away on the track’s fan appreciation day. People were lined up in the parking lot waiting to get<br />

the poster,” Pauly said.<br />

Pauly was commissioned along with 10 international artists to paint the portraits of the Dubai World<br />

Cup winners. His portrait of Cigar capturing the first Dubai World Cup was the highlight of his career.<br />

“They invited all of the artists to Dubai to take part in the Dubai World Cup <strong>Art</strong> Auction and Exhibition.<br />

It was a trip of a lifetime,” Pauly said.<br />
