Creating art through my photography of wild horses allows me to share the incredible majesty of these sentient beings with the world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Nature & wildlife photography especially photos of wild horses are my favorite creative outlets.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes to me while hiking in the wild. I am in awe of the natural world, the howl of a coyote or hoot of an owl in the night, the excitement of witnessing wild horses running free, the amazing experience of watching a newborn foal take its first wobbly steps.
What would you do with $25,000?My dream would be to open a wild horse sanctuary to save wild horses from being rounded up and auctioned or sent to slaughter. I realize however that $25,000 is not enough money to do that so I would continue to donate to existing sanctuaries, (Nirvana, Skydog), wild horse advocacy groups ( American Wild Horse Conservation, Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, and other animal rescues. I currently sponsor wild horses at Nirvana & Salt River Wild Horses. I would like to do so much more!
