Horses are indeed a marvel of sensitivity and emotional knowledge. Eight months pregnant, Alex, my daughter-in-law, visiting a stable where she used to ride horses, had a beautiful moment with one of the mares. Even though Alex had never ridden Diva, it was clear that Diva had been affected by her caretaker's recent pregnancy.

 I carefully manipulated watercolor ink and coconut oil to record this profound emotional connection. The placement of these physically independent ink cells creates a visual of the spiritual cellular-level connection between the mare, the unborn child and Alex.

This moment is a reminder that all species deserve much more credit than humans often give them. It also underlines our potential to build connections with all creatures inspiring the desire to care for and maintain a healthy ecosystem.
