| During a spontaneous trip to Ireland, Julie Saunders with her passion for horses and art, was lucky enough to meet Des Snee. She was so impressed with his work that she asked him to commission her a painting. Des, on learning that Julie was living and working in Spain asked her if she would promote his paintings there. Julie was delighted to do so. |
