Safety is not silence. It is nervous system peace in the presence of power.

What it unlocks in a room

Sleeping Beauty changes the emotional temperature of a space.

It doesn’t decorate. It regulates.

This piece lowers the noise in a room without dimming it. People soften around it. Shoulders drop. Breath deepens.

In a space, it reads as:

• protective

• intimate

• emotionally sovereign

• deeply safe

Collectors are drawn to this work for bedrooms, private sanctuaries, healing spaces, and homes where restoration is non-negotiable.

This is not performance art. This is refuge.

Story behind the piece

Sleeping Beauty was born from nights when anxiety refused to sleep.

There were seasons when my mind would not quiet, when exhaustion and tension lived in my body long after the day ended. And yet, every time I walked into the pasture, something shifted.

My horses did not analyze me. They did not fix me. They stood.

And in their presence, my nervous system recalibrated.

This painting captures that moment: the profound safety of resting beside something powerful that chooses gentleness.

The horse here is not dominant. Not reactive. Not alert.

It is protective without aggression.

The softness of the composition reflects that paradox: immense strength held quietly.

Sleeping Beauty is not about sleep. It is about surrender. About the rare experience of feeling safe enough to fully exhale.

Collectors drawn to this piece are often those who carry responsibility, intensity, leadership — and are finally ready to build spaces where they can put it down.

This painting holds that permission.
