“Dream Team”

A good team of horses always has a special place in my heart and reminds me of my childhood. The power that generates from a team of horses working in harmony never ceases to inspire me. Dream Team, symbolizes that united we stand and divided we fall. It was completed in 2010 when I was 19 years old. 

This cowboy takes a moment with his horse, to be grateful, just before he heads out for the day, A gentle morning light filters through the barn doors and invites the two into the brand new day. My reverence for my subject is expressed with 15 hidden hearts in this piece. 

These two are up to something... This drawing begs for your imagination to participate...He has flowers in his hands for MOM, but I can also imagine a toad in his pocket.

 In contrast to his naturally quiet personality, Jack’s expression of confidence “I’VE GOT THIS,” had to be drawn. I had a lot of fun drawing the quiet confidence of Jack, "The CowBoss"

Gentle Hands. This drawing represents the partnership I had with my horse Mystical. I have seen many times when our horses and animals are reflections of our own selves. Mystical feels like a self portrait.

The foals new beginning in life, felt so much like my own new beginning. It felt like it took place in our pasture down by these willow trees with this mare and foal. The mother’s posture speaks of protection, affection and adoration of her foal. She reminds me of my own Mother and caring friends who supported me through the years.

My friend and I rode many long miles together in his buggy with this “Fine Filly”. Riding behind her through my darkened times her “Hoof-Beets” were like music to my ears. The dark night is now receding as she gazes out her window toward the breaking dawn… the Golden Dawn” of renewed hope and strength… returned health and vitality… and the important chapters in our lives. This piece feels symbolic to me of my transition from darkness to the light… from sadness to joy… from the past to present.
