Jumping Off
The Hampton Classic Horse Show has announced that its 2023 poster, "Seasoned Pro," features artwork by Vanessa Whittell of Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada.
Ms. Whittell, an artist, graphic designer, and equestrienne, creates large contemporary equestrian art focused on both the horse and rider. "Seasoned Pro" is said to have been inspired by the explosive feeling of a jump-off. The poster is available for pre-sale on the Hampton Classic website.
The 48th annual Hampton Classic will take place in Bridgehampton from Aug. 27 through Sept. 3.
