I have been an active horsewoman for most of my life. My experiences with horses have inspired me, and given me a special insight into their world of emotion and spirit.Â
With my art, I strive to share my peek into the heart of these magnificent beings. My art depicts their strength and passion, along with their kindness and devotion, all characteristics of the horse, which I know to be true. I have had my horse save me from certain disasters. When I have made mistakes jumping fences, he has stepped up and corrected my error, avoiding a crash. I have had my horse carry me through forests so thick that I have had to bury my face in his neck to avoid getting knocked off of his back. Not being able to see where I was going, I have trusted him to safely gallop through until it was safe for me to look up again. I also treasure the quiet times with my horse when he sees me and eagerly canters to the gate to greet me and say hello. I enjoy hearing him gently nicker when I walk to his stall to scratch his head and have him nuzzle my cheek.Â
These elements inspire my art. My hope is that my paintings captivate and allow the viewer to share insights into my world of the horse.
