This work reflects a life shaped by wide horizons and inherited freedom. The horse stands as both subject and symbol—formed by land, weather, and time rather than fences or borders. The circular field suggests the sun, the horizon, and the unbroken continuity of the American West, while layered marks echo movement, memory, and endurance.

Born Under Open Sky honors the quiet strength of Western heritage: a spirit raised in open country, defined not by control, but by space—where identity is forged through distance, resilience, and the enduring relationship between land and animal.
