The horses I paint are what I hope to find in myself, a strength and determination to move forward. To go above and beyond the expectations and do what was once thought to be impossible.

Driven to capture the mist, I followed it around the bend one morning, through the pass, and into the valley. I was inspired by the atmosphere and sense of timelessness. By adding texture and dimension reminiscent of the collodion wet plate process, I aimed to capture the raw beauty and create a sense of exposure. Visually blurring the line between the past and present. “We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.” – William Hazlitt

My love for animals makes it interesting and special to paint them any kind of animal actually I also enjoy doing peoples faces
