AMONG THE MUSTANGS
The Onaqui herd of horses roams freely in an area southwest of Salt Lake City surrounded by Utah’s mountains. Encircled by more than 200 wild mustangs, I observed their interaction with each other and with the land. Small groups of horses stood together, some sparred, some slept, and others moved from group to group.
These paintings are a soul-searching quest into each horse's spirit and relationship with the herd. They are an intimate glimpse at the powerful, yet peaceful existence of wild horses in their natural environment. I hope you feel as if you have experienced the freedom of these quiet symbols from our nation’s past.
Note: About 200 of the Onaqui herd were recently rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management. Their fate is uncertain.

Karen--Please send me your email address--I had talked to you about having a painting done. My friend has found out her horse has cancer with a very limited time to live. I want to present a painting to her in time for Christmas if possible. I had wanted to have one done of my horse as well, do you offer deals at all if I order too? If not, no problem.

I am so sorry to hear about your friends horse. I will send the Price sheet and FAQ, as well as a discount to go toward those paintings.
