The world is full of beauty - stop right now and look around - wherever you are, whatever circumstance you find yourself in, there is beauty around and within you. Is it the sunlight shining delicately through a bright green leaf, is it the sound of laughter in the distance, is it the sky above or the love that lives in your heart? The world of living things has always soothed my soul, and is what moves me to want to be an artist - to be able to capture a moment of beauty, to share my joy at having seen and felt it - and I hope that in sharing what I saw as beautiful, that you will feel it too.
You may notice a strong bias towards beauty as personified by horses in my blog. This is because they have been intertwined in my life for as long as I can remember, and because I owe them so much - they have given me more than I can say (although I will attempt to tell what they have shown me along the way...) - and of course because they are so magnificent! Where would mankind be without the noble horse? Along with horses, you will also find cattle and glimpses of life on the land, from which I have also learned so much, and which has fed my body and soul for so long.
What I want to capture in my art is the essence of things - whatever it is that creates a recognition, a feeling, a knowing... Please let me know what you think, and I hope that my art and my journey bring a little bit of pleasure in some way to your day...
