Clarity in the Wild isn’t just a painting — it’s an invitation to explore your deepest instincts, your truest self.

This 28x32” acrylic original captures a moment of wild surrender: a rearing horse, bold and powerful, seen from a low angle that pulls you right into its energy. The horse’s flowing, whimsical mane and cool purple-blue palette (with hints of metallic turquoise) evoke a sense of serenity and transcendence — like stepping into a dreamscape where your intuition is the only guide.

The bare, sensual woman rides this energy without reins or saddle. She is both vulnerable and liberated, a symbol of Jungian archetypes: the Wild Woman, the Divine Feminine, the Inner Child yearning for freedom. Her closed eyes and fluid posture echo the Freudian journey inward — where instinct, desire, and shadow meet.

This piece is more than paint on canvas. It’s a mirror for your own healing. It’s the dance between who you thought you needed to be — and who you’re becoming. A portal to your authenticity.

The contrast of the horse’s calm, grounded colors with electric pops of neon mirrors the duality in us all: the rooted, peaceful energy that horses offer… and the radiant, untamed passion that’s waiting to rise.

Why This Piece?

✨ Symbolic Depth: The low perspective mirrors your own sense of humility and wonder. It’s the vantage point of someone learning to see with fresh eyes, of someone who has stopped performing and started listening — to herself and to the quiet, powerful presence of the horse.

✨ Archetypal Energy: In Jungian terms, the horse is the embodiment of instinct — wild, wise, and uncontainable. The woman is the anima: the deep feminine, creative, and intuitive self, once hidden and now rising.

✨ Healing Through Authenticity: This painting was born from my own journey through chronic illness, lupus, and years of trying to be everything for everyone else — until I couldn’t. My horses were my teachers. They showed me that authenticity is not a destination; it’s a daily choice. It’s about showing up, messy and real, and finding connection and clarity in the process.

If you feel this piece calling you, it’s not just art — it’s an energetic anchor for your own journey. A reminder that you, too, can be both soft and fierce, grounded and wild, free and whole.
