Dragonfly Wishes

I painted "Dragonfly Wishes" after meeting my new young horse. I was inspired by her inquisitive nature and athletic ability. I painted the background in a more geometric style while the horse is more realistic. This is an image of a curious young horse standing in shallow water with dragonflies around it. I think of how I look at horses and want them to help me fly. In the same way, in this image, the young horse looks at the dragonflies in hopes of finding the secret of how to fly. Our entire world interacts together. We can all learn from one another if only we will allow.

My love of art and horses collided at a very young age. I do not know which came first but it has settled into my innermost being in a way that has always pressed to come out.

I paint portraits of these creatures expressing their personality and intensity of their character. My obsession while creating these animals can only be expressed within each of my brush strokes. I feel their spirit and disposition as I portray their likenesses.

“Dragonfly Wishes” is acrylic and oil paint on canvas.

I am an equestrian and a portrait artist. Through my artwork of horses, both of my passions are blended and that is when I feel the most connected to the soul of God’s most beautiful creature - the horse.
