Farrah the Horse

Before I cut a single piece, I went up to the ranch to bond with Farrah.

In Whitney's words

From my studio blog

In early October 2022 I had a very special opportunity to go to Anacortes to visit a client to bond with her horses before recreating one through collage.

She put me up in her beautiful abode—a ranch-style house on a hill overlooking her horse farm—so breathtaking!

Here are photos of my time there and the subsequent collage I created shortly after when I got back to my studio.
