About The Artwork
This piece was inspired by my time working as a wrangler on a ranch in Montana where I first experienced colt starting, or breaking, as well as the taming of wild horses, including mustangs. For wild horses specifically, the first objective in training is teaching the horse to be relatively comfortable with humans. This piece depicts one of the most significant moments in a wild horses taming, that when the trainer first attempts to contact the horse. In this moment both beings are usually terrified, but it is the trainer's responsibility to remain emotionally collected as the horse can sense it otherwise. It is a moment when humans reconcile their predatory nature for the sake of partnership, and for those that have experienced it, it is truly spiritual.

United States
I am a Rangeland student and a visual artist living in San Angelo, Texas. I began my formal art education in high school, where I attended a private school with a 4-year art program on an artist scholarship. I specialize in oil paintings, but also enjoy pencil drawings and photography. Recently, I have been further discovering and honing my own painting style. I am influenced largely by post-impressionist and American realist frontier movements. I most enjoy paintings which depict the natural world in the Western US. Though I grew up outside Baltimore, Maryland I was fascinated with the Western US and the outdoors from a young age. I have experienced working and living on ranches in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Texas. I hope my artwork can help share my experiences of this life with others.
