Art Gallery

I invite you into these luminescent ‘thin spaces’ that bridge the natural world to the spiritual. I create a ‘rarified atmosphere’ using photo encaustic, cold wax and oil and acrylic. Contemporary equine art expresses the beauty, power and freedom of the horse and human relationship.The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Psalm 19:1
