Life can be an overwhelming reality. Everyday we are bombarded by fear, guilt, and impossible expectations. As we grow and learn about the world and its shortcomings, we are burdened by the inescapable feeling of helplessness. Unfortunately, overcoming ignorance comes with a hard price to pay - the necessary loss of innocence.

My goal today is not to provoke any significant level of deep thought. We are in an era where there is no lack of food for thought. It's amazing to have endless sources for information at the swipe of a finger across a screen. As a young mother of two boys with apparent "out there" ideas on schooling and societal responsibility, it is also exhausting. Sometimes, instead of adding to the turmoil in my mind, I'd rather try to iron out what's going on in there first.

I'd like to pause my mile-a-minute thinking and appreciate the amazing and breath-taking moments that we take for granted. They are gone all too soon, and we forget them as we dive right back into our workhorse existence.

My artworks reflect on those moments. They are impressions of past experiences, muses, dreams, wishful thinkings. They are the Beautiful moments. The Cleansing moments. The Grounding moments.

Also, horses.

I hope you stay a while.
