I started this piece before Derby, honoring one of Bob Baffert?s horses that was running in the 151 Kentucky Derby. The horse scratched just days before the race. I decided I was still going to finish the piece, and honor Rodriguez for his hard work and dedication to being eligible for the Kentucky Derby. This piece started as a full body portrait of him, but the more work I did, the more it transformed into what you see here.

My art journey with Grace has been an incredible experience. She was originally intended to be a quick study of a white horse done in soft pastel. Little did I know, my vision was failing. I had developed cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration which all seriously compromised my vision and my color perception. I found myself struggling with proportions and balance which ultimately caused me to go to the eye doctor. My treatments have been successful and despite the many prior errors I was

Title or Location: The Canyon Dancer
Entirely made from recycled hay baling twine, "The Canyon Dancer" is a free spirit from the canyons of the Midwest. She twirls celebrating the traditions of her ancestors in this flowing organic form. Harding's work rejuvenates tradition basketry with a contemporary take for the modern audience. There are no fixatives to create these forms, only the tension of the twine sewn in concentric circles.
