We are living in a time of deep healing and transformation. This piece is dedicated to anyone who has experienced trauma, especially veterans and those currently serving in the military. I painted this to honor them, and to honor the horses at Healing Hearts Ranch who help support the healing of the veterans in the HeartStrides program. Many of these horses were rescued from abusive situations themselves. I remain in awe of the loving presence these magnificent creatures offer to those who are suffering. It is a privilege to partner with such sentient beings, and I am deeply humbled and grateful during this harvest season.
