Horses are my passion !

When i was a young girl, my mother gave me a huge 100 year old farm animals veterinary book,
its pages were old and brown and it was almost falling apart however inside , the illustrations were incredibly detailed with that antique etching style, and so i studied the skeleton and muscles, and then i was given a horse. first a very old slow horse and then a young untrained horse , a mix of French Thoroughbred cross Boreperd , i called her Gypsie Girl and trained her to do tricks and she was fast as the wind,
i spent most of my childhood riding through the dreamy forests of South Africa, a truly fantastic time of my life.

Horses are really famous for thier enchanting movement
so i watched and rode countless miles until i understood it.
In my art and sculpture to this day, i try to not loose that power
but to keep it alive right there on the page
full of QI, like the horse.

May my art find you
kind regards
