Wild Fillies Make the Best Horses 1 | Chappie

My Wild Fillies series is inspired by the Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch’s quote, “The wildest colts make the best horses”.

I add in the graffiti I collect from the local train traffic that passes through the remote Missouri River valley where I live in Montana, because I love its raw energy, vibrant color and style, and also because it brings an unexpected layer of interest to each piece. Lastly, a layer of splattered paint embellishes each piece, honoring the random messiness of Life.
