From the beginning my twin passions were drawing and horses, my hero was Leonardo da Vinci, and my dreams were of becoming an artist living in a wooded valley with clear flowing water at my door and horses grazing all around.

I chose Heather Jansch and her work because it beautifully depicts art in such a raw form using materials from the earth. She very thoughtfully places the driftwood and shapes these graceful equin life-size sculptures to portray them in their natural setting.
