This painting came into existence through the heart and mind of a 13 year old artist, coming to grips with the brokenness of the world. This painting was raw, emotional, and graphic. As an adult, a decade later, I decided to give this painting a new vision. One that honors the grief that originally birthed the image of the horse, but that also shows the healing, maturing, and process of transformation I have undergone as an artist and as a person in the past decade. Secrets of Transformation is the title, because I am the sole person who remembers what the painting used to look like, and the sole person who harbors the 13 year old I used to be. The horse stares into the mind of the viewer, asking you to question your own transformations, secrets, and dealings with suffering. The symbols around the horse are free flow subconscious markings that allow me to express myself in a language of my very own, meant only to be decoded by others who seek the knowledge of symbols. How have you healed your 13 year old self?
