Spirit Horse: Leap to the Fire

High energy!

My brilliant orange Spirit Horse leaps towards one of three fiery suns in a brilliant blue sky.

The whirling suns are actually a repeated, very special symbol of mine, recalling the nautilus, a multi-chambered seashell. Throughout the ages the nautilus has inspired us with the concept of infinity, eternal life, internal harmony, and yes, let us not forget mystery, too.

This brilliant Spirit Horse – which itself embodies energy and hope – leaps towards the sun. I painted Blackfoot symbols on this “Indian pony.” The zigzag represents a lightning bolt, the dot symbolizes the circle of life.





After creating the image above, I fired it at The Mud Oven in Ottawa, I “framed” the 6 x 6 inch tile in a “simply ornate” frame and voilĂ ! A trivet is born!

Hang it on your wall or use it on your table as functional art... but above all, enjoy it.
