Blended Beings
We feel the wind as a living thing
Moving through us like mercury.
Companions, we stand side by side
Sharing a glimpse of infinity.
If you could imagine our inner world
We’re not so different from you
We love, we laugh, we cry, we dream
We hearken for what is true

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
I had the pleasure of attending a photography workshop at Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary. I was allowed to spend an evening among one of the herds that were familiar with being around people. Some of the mares approached me in trust and friendship, and I was amazed at how close they allowed me to be. When I returned home to my studio, I recalled the memory of the warm autumn wind in their manes, and the peace of being in their presence. These colors emerged onto paper without thought or plan in one drawing session. Spontaneous pieces are rare and treasured in my collection as some of the purest forms of my inspirations.
