Out of the Ashes

Out of the Ashes

This image is metaphorical because it is actually Mouse, the horse, who pulled me out of the ashes renewed. She was a gift from my husband for my fiftieth birthday. It was a time when I was struggling to find direction in my life as well as my art. This dapple gray beauty renewed me and inspired me and has helped me to grow as a person as well as an artist.
