Ruston artist Hooshang Khorasani has donated one of his original equine paintings, “Bay Runner,” to the annual St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fundraiser in Minden, to be held Feb. 5-8.

Khorasani is an internationally exhibited, award-winning artist who maintains working studios in Ruston and Orange County, California. He earned a bachelor of fine arts in painting, began his career as a
graphic designer and illustrator, and has worked as a self-employed artist in the U.S. and abroad since the early 1980s.

His bold contemporary works – including abstracts, landscapes and equine pieces – are held in private, corporate and museum collections throughout the United States and Europe.

“Bay Runner” is a dynamic 36-by-36-inch original acrylic-on-canvas painting valued at $3,000. To view the artwork or buy a chance to win the painting, visit mindenstjude.com/product/art-bay-runner.
