ancy Strowger
and Jason Ross are the same person, though it wasn't common knowledge
for many years. Nancy Strowger was the actual artist, but she
painted under many assumed names over the years, including Jason
Ross, Alan Ross, Dr. Jason Hunter, and Sarah Ross. (There
were other assumed names as well, but they have been forgotten
over time.) She was active in the late 1970's to the mid-1980's;
to my knowledge none of the artist(s) produce any type of work
anymore. It was unfortunate that the various names were used in
a number of cases to cheat people out of their money in exchange
for models that were never sent. People began figuring out that
these artists were all the same person after comparing pieces
next to each other and seeing the identical styles.
Despite the stories that circulate about Strowger, it cannot
be denied that her horses are remarkable and still coveted, being
shown to championships in the 1990's. I'd like to thank Elizabeth
Bouras for the majority of the photos shown in this gallery, but
also to Renee Mareska, who helped me with factual information
for this write-up as well as photos!
