The Waterhorse: Creative Union & Devotion
The Waterhorse III
Acrylic on canvas with a gloss medium poured thinly over a section
59.5 x 42 cm
(2025)
Drawn from an old Scottish tale, The Waterhorse is a story of deep creative union. It is an offering of devotion and surrender beneath the surface.
In my retelling, the female protagonist and the creature from the deep first fall into friendship, and then into love. Choosing to join him, she steps into a rich, hidden life where creativity flows in mysterious currents. It is a story of trust, transformation, and the sacred conversation between self and other.
This painting was born from that spirit. It is crafted as a companion for seekers - an heirloom that reveals new layers the longer you live with it. The Waterhorse invites you to consider your own creative devotion, and the ways you surrender to both your practice and the unknown.
