When I started painting horses, the first image came in a meditation, and the Power Images followed. So it has never been about the horses for me but about the Spirit. I began reading about Native American culture and jotting down notes. I found this quote from The American Heritage book on Indians," The plains are afloat in mysterious space, and the winds come straight from heaven. Anyone alone on the plains turns into a mystic. The plains had always been a place for dreams, but with horses even more so. Something happens to a man when he gets on a horse and can ride forever; it is quite easy to ascend into the impression of living in a myth. He either feels like a God or feels closer to God.
