Alice could not help her lips curling as she began:
"Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were
fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!"
"Well, now we have seen each other," said the Unicorn,
"if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.
Is that a bargain?"

Collection of the artist
This painting represents my interpretation of the Horse Goddess Epona, a blending of the feminine within what appears to be a masculine horse, the woman's silhouette in black combined with the white of the horse, yin & yang. Her hair & hand flow into the mane like tree roots; she is a part of the earth, yet also the air - mythical, magical, yet also a part of Mother Nature. Look on top of the mountain - for the snowline is in the shape of a horse lying on its side.
My inspiration for this painting was my love of coloured horses, actually 1 of my own blue-eyed Paints. No two Paint Horses are alike, each has it's own individual colour & pattern. The above horse would be called a 'splash white overo.'
