"Unbridled Spirit" is a powerful 70 x 80 cm (approximately 28 x 32 inches) acrylic abstract painting on canvas, capturing the essence of the human spirit and the transformative power of horses. Painted in subtle grays and soft blues, this artwork is more than just a visual masterpiece—it is a deeply personal testament to strength, resilience, and the indomitable will to overcome life’s greatest challenges.

Symbolism and Story: Every brushstroke and drip of paint in "Unbridled Spirit" carries profound symbolism, reflecting my journey through both physical and emotional challenges. The horse, depicted head-on, represents courage and perseverance in the face of adversity, serving as a powerful symbol of the determination to move forward despite obstacles.

The gentle drips that trickle down the canvas are not just a stylistic choice; they represent the tears shed during my darkest hours—a poignant reminder of the physical and emotional pain I endured during my battle with lupus, when I was bedridden and told by doctors that I would never ride horses again. But I refused to surrender to despair. Instead, I found solace and purpose in painting horses and, when I was strong enough, in the presence of horses themselves.

A Journey of Resilience: "Unbridled Spirit" is infused with the story of my journey—a journey that defied expectations and embraced the power of the mind and the resilience of the body. Despite the doubts and limitations placed on me, I not only began riding again but did so bridleless, even competing in jumpers and dressage without a bridle! It was this incredible journey that taught me invaluable lessons:

1. The power of riding bridleless—trusting in the deep connection between horse and rider.

2. The discovery of my artistic passion—painting horses as a means of healing and expression.

3. The profound understanding of the mind’s power and the body’s ability to recover and thrive.
