Believe
It is said that only those who believe in unicorns can see their horn. Belief is a powerful experience, for without it, most dreams would not be realized. The light surrounding this beautiful white horse is perhaps only an illusion, or does it portend the appearance of something magical?

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
I believe that all horses are as sacred as unicorns. In “Believe” the unicorn horn on the verge of appearing, depending upon the viewer’s own belief. The inspiration for this piece came originally from a dream. I dreamt I was in a museum, and I saw a glass case featuring the skull of what at first appeared to be a horse, but then I realized it was a unicorn, the horn was missing but there was a luminescent base still visible. I wanted to shout to the disinterested spectators, now do you believe?
