“Rivers and horses are symbols that I relate to my experience in the western United States. Aspen and cottonwood trees thrive along streams and rivers, some rivers run like wild horses down a mountain. I find horses and running rivers transcendental, metaphors for power and life, for harmony and spirit, for freedom and purpose.”
