From the very first moment I started work on this painting ("Running Free") I experienced joy in every sense of the word. As I watched this mare gallop with wild abandon through the pasture, I immediately shared her state of being joyful, her sense of exuberance, exhilaration and her celebration of simply being alive. She seemed to radiate inexhaustible joie de vivre.
“She decided to free herself, dance into the wind, create a new language. And birds fluttered around her, writing “yes” in the sky.”
