Sculpting and decorating each “Spirit Horse” individually, I try to capture the essence of the animal totem. The horse embodies enduring strength, power and freedom. Turquoise is a symbol of friendship, wisdom and protection of the home. It absorbs negative energy. Connected with the magical powers of the Shaman (medicine man) , the horse is the first totem animal spirit. Each horse is sculpted in clay, fired and painted with layers of colors. Delicate pheasant feathers, vintage beads and leather fringe embellish his saddle. A beautiful turquoise nugget, symbolizing friendship, is placed on his back and the small medicine bag holds sage and sweet grass and small pottery shards for protection. Horse medicine teaches us to tap into our own inner strength and powers.
