The Ring Could Not Hold Her

A carousel horse is made to travel around the same circle, moving up and down while carrying others. Even the brass ring promises only another turn on the same ride.

In The Ring Could Not Hold Her, the horse comes alive. She breaks free from the pole that held her and jumps toward a new future. This painting is about letting go of what keeps us stuck and finding the hope to move forward.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind mixed-media painting on watercolor paper.
