For a number of years, as I walked my sons to and from their daycare, I dedicated myself to drawing the natural objects that they would pick up along our walks: sticks, rocks, a bird’s nest, and this maple seed. My philosophy was that I would never have a shortage of things to make images with, and it kept me dedicated to carving out time, even small amounts of it, to make art while also caring for two young boys. I think of “Balance” and its depiction of the potential for growth as both a reflection on parenting and the potential of that life to grow beyond me.

What’s more real, the child or the horses? When I was little, I wanted desperately to have my own horse. As a kid in the city, the closest I ever got were Breyer models. The appaloosa mare and mustang stallion were the start of my own herd. Together we would race over the northern plains. The stories they told me were endless.
