“I paint the Rocky Mountains and wild horses of Western Canada in watercolour. I’m drawn to both because neither can be tamed: the mountains are beautiful and still, until they’re not, and the wild horses refuse to be fenced in or told what they’re supposed to be. I paint tightly, in careful layers, but the paint still creates beautiful blooms and blends that aren’t always predictable, almost wild, no matter how much I try to control it.”
