  A commissioned portrait makes your love tangible
  Your horse is in your life for a reason. The relationship is profound... so profound, that the essence is unconscious.
  Commission a visionary work of art that expresses what cannot be put into words.
  Soul Essence Portraits are inspired by intuitive messages I receive from the spirits of horses which I translate into a work of art.

  ""The joy I felt when I first laid eyes on your portrait of my Lady horse was indescribable. It is so much more than a painting. It is not a surprise, but truly this piece is a living entity… connecting our Spirits: Lady and Me."
  The following are some of the commissioned portraits I've had the pleasure
  of creating for horses and their people.
  Tangible Soul Essence Portrait Examples

  "Ella's Transcendence"

  A Soul Essence portrait is a talisman and a guide
  to define and express what your horse means to you.
  The portrait has a life of its own and is an energetic expression on paper.
  The art becomes a visual meditation, a medium to allow you to celebrate and honor your connection with your horse and your inner self.
  "The longer I look at the portrait, seeing the tiny details hidden in plain sight, the more I hear Alibi's messages. There are so many meanings from other sources over the past couple of years that you never could have known. I find the portrait energetically grounds me in a way I never imagined was possible."
  "Hold the Sky"
  Eleanor asked that I create a painting of Fine Time that could portray the elusive and magical moments she experienced when being with her in her pasture... continued...
  This portrait of Vixen became a vision of two beautiful and rare creations of nature. A beautiful mare, and a waterfall called Horsetail Falls... continued...
  If your horse has passed into the spirit realm, your relationship may have changed, but you and your horse
  are still connected. A Soul Essence portrait is a window to their spirit.
  Horses, whether in this world or the next
  always have our well being at heart
  They hold a knowing of our true selves
  and offer keys to unlock the parts of us that are often hidden
  "The photos that I have of Diva, while beautiful, aren't really her. If someone wanted to see what she looked like, I would proudly show them the photos. If someone asked who Diva was, I would even more proudly show them her portrait."
  Antares taught us that the best things are worth waiting for, and inspirations come together as they are meant to be... continued...

  A Soul Essence Portrait is a work of art created as an expression of love
  Elusive as a prayer but so tangible you can almost touch it
  Offering a matrix of connection

  "This portrait is so personal for me.
  I feel deeply every time I see it. This is the "real" Grace but not everyone sees her this way, or maybe I should say she does not show herself to everyone in this way. But those who her see her thus, or perhaps feel her thus, are transformed.
  I know I have been."
  Plan Your Soul Essence Portrait Journey
  Your portrait will be a gentle interweaving of your thoughts and feelings with my intuitive and artistic gifts. Through reflection and sharing of your photographs and memories, a magical co-creation evolves that allows the work of art to unfold.
  There are two styles to choose from. The feelings elicited from both are profound. The primary difference is in the amount of realism and detail. Consider whether you are attracted to flow or focus.
  Essential Soul Essence
  You know your horse's spirit, and your horse knows yours. The Essential Soul Essence style portrays a vision of your horse and the connection you share. It is an energetic impression that feels so familiar. The pastel swirls, lyrical lines, and dynamic colors often include aspects of nature or symbols that have meaning just for you.
  Tangible Soul Essence
  There is something amazing that happens when you look into the eyes of your horse in this work of art. The Tangible style expresses a realism that is more than merely a likeness, it is your horse's true presence. The connection is right there. Wherever you are in your day or your life, your horse is right there with you.
