Benevolence
Someday, you will see yourself as I see you.
You will be patient with yourself,
providing space for all the parts of you
in need of healing.
You will release your judgment
of all the parts of you
that you feel aren’t the way they should be.
In my eyes, there is no should,
only what is, what was, and what can be.
Allow space for your Self.
Allow Me.

About the Art
Benevolence is a name that perfectly reflects both this noble Arabian stallion and the spirit of this painting.
The horse belonged to the first collector who purchased one of my original pastels in 1987. A decade later, he commissioned me to portray his beloved companion — creating a legacy of art that honors a lifelong devotion to horses.Beyond its story lies the universal message of the horse: a presence of peace, gentleness, and grace. Benevolence reminds us that love expressed through service and trust endures far beyond a single lifetime.
