Inspired by a long-term fascination with words, fonts, fairgrounds (and a touch of kitsch), Show Pony creates illuminated artworks & fairground-inspired signs, often embellished with gold and fitted with lightbulbs. Alongside these are typographic prints, and painted cut-outs featuring icons of popular-culture.

Self-identifying as a ‘word clown’, Tait graduated with a First Class BA Hons in Fine Art whilst suspended from the ceiling in a horse costume, under the title ‘Well Hung’. This playful use of words has carried through into her practice as Show Pony.

Show Pony lives in St-Leonards-on-Sea with her wife and their two young sons.

Practicing member of art collective Babes In Arms.
