Horses
Horses play a critical role in my life. I have a deep sense of connection with them, and they teach me so much about compassion, joy, and just being alive. I spend a great deal of time watching them, drawing them, and interacting with them. Like painting, they allow me to step outside of the chaos of everyday life and be at peace in the moment. You might notice that some of my horse drawings have figurative elements in them. Human faces, hands, and occasionally words can be found if you look closely. The sketch-like drawings are part of the Tether Series.
