"The Jump" I must say is one of my favorites that is not emotionally attached to my family. It was an idea that came to me one afternoon and after an extensive review of references and a 'few' sketches later, this image emerged into one of the most powerful yet simple portraits I've ever done.
The Jump received "Jurors Award" at the first Federation of Canadian Artists Thompson Nicola Shuswap Chapter Art Show in November of 2006.
It is one of the pieces of original artwork that I entered to be juried that helped me to achieve my Active Status into the Federation of Canadian Artists. Since then, it has been on the front cover of "The Horsemen's Corral" Vol# 38 Number 5 May 2006, and also was advertised within the "Merrill Lynch Hunter Jumper Classic" as a representation for my work as a new and upcoming Canadian Equestrian and Portrait Artist. It has also been recognized through the "Northern Ohio Live" magazine, the one and only prestigious leading "Arts and Culture" magazine in the state of Ohio.
Deep within this particular piece of artwork, there is that hidden drive and motivation there that we all feel while focused on a specific goal. But yet there is also that special lightness of the free spirit that can truly evoke a true love of the sport.
This is one of those memorable times that I have been able to capture something that is so ordinary and make it just a little bit extraordinary and unique. It's the start of my own style that is slowly starting to emerge from within. It truly is a portrait of determination, emotion and intent and I am incredibly proud to have my signature on it.

Beautiful Matted Giclee art prints are available
