Spending a sunny fall day at the Myrddin Equestrian Centre Horse Show was a delightful experience. Surrounded by magnificent horses and their riders, I thoroughly enjoyed myself capturing ‘behind the scenes’ moments, combined with show snippets. Warming up before a show is more than what the eye can see: it involves getting in emotional and […]
When I was approached to photograph 33 yr old Arabian horse Chaser, I knew something very special was going to unfold. I immediately got an intuitive sense of his wise, powerful energy and of the way I was going to feel around it. As it happens with our own elders, Chaser’s presence inspires feelings of […]
A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph two beautiful women and their beloved horses who live at the Milestone Stables in Campbellville, Ontario. This gorgeous countryside farm located at the base of the Niagara escarpment was the setting for a beautiful experience which went beyond the photo taking, as it often […]
Jenny’s story is one of those examples of how horses can change lives. Really turning them around. Especially when one listens to what the heart is saying. And horses are our big teachers for that. Connecting with them leads to our own connection with the soul’s desire, spoken through the heart. All we need to […]
My photography work brought me to St Lucia early this year and I used the opportunity to tap into the local equine world. To my delight, I found a place of great beauty and authenticity: the Atlantic Shores Riding Stables. A few elements distinguish this horseback riding operation from others: its breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path location, the […]
I have known Jessica Fobert of ‘Free Rein Horsemanship’ for almost three years and have had the privilege to come close to her work a couple of times. I am sure there are many horse lovers out there who feel the same way: she truly is amazing at her approach to horsemanship. She has an […]
Barney gives back: An inspiring horse rescue story
This week (April 2-9) has not been like any other week. Many of us have felt its special energy, particularly around the New Moon on April 7th. Which came with blessings and gifts for all of us. Spring is also a time for revival, for realigning ourselves with our paths, new beginnings are in the […]
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Lindsay who wanted to offer her mother, Julie, a photo shoot as a gift for Mother’s Day. They both board their pleasure horses at the picturesque Peace Valley Ranch. Lindsay spoke about their Friesian and Paint horses with great enthusiasm and I could feel her loving energy […]

Once in a while our boundaries are stretched. When this happens creatively, an artist could not wish for more. When Kristina contacted me for a special dance shoot, I did not really know what shape and form this experience was going to take. After our first chat, I started getting visions…of nature…snow…and ultimately, horses (hmmm…are […]

Many thanks to Noelle and Bill for featuring my story.
Thank you Susan Asbrook of Equine VIP for a lovely interview!
Almost three years ago I was embarking on a wondrous journey. It started, like many adventures, with a strong desire: to travel the world and photograph horses. I imagined them wild, manes flying in the air, their powerful spirit shine, their thirst for freedom – the only guiding force. I have had many amazing encounters […]
While exploring the area around Jackson, Wyoming and exhibiting my equine art at the Western Design Conference in town, I had the privilege to live in a place that is hard to even begin describing: the Gros Ventre River Ranch. Remotely located in the Teton National Forrest, with the Gros Ventre River running right through its […]
Needless to say how excited I was when Claudia contacted me saying that she was looking to do an engagement photo session with horses. Her and her beau, Deion, had a magnificent place already chosen: Horse Play Niagara. With the kind of weather we have had early this summer, I wondered what the Gods had […]
As I look back at everything that happened before and during my trip to Jamaica, I can say it was synchronicity at play. Many things came together in a way that makes me think of magic. I travel the world to meet horses in unique locations and write stories about them. This is how I […]
I was born and grew up in Romania. I often travel back to visit my family and friends. Last December was a bit different. I went home with the intention of finding and photographing some horses roaming free in the Southern Romanian forests. I was detoured. Prior to my arrival, my dear mother watched a […]
Opportunities present themselves to us when we are ready to embrace them and make the most out of them. Sometimes it all begins with an intention we simply throw out there without necessarily knowing how to go about materializing it. And so we continue on with our lives. Miraculously, at some point in time, what […]
While at the Sunnydale Stables in North Bay, I had the pleasure to spend some fun time with a lovely girl, Brianne, and the Gypsy Vanner horse she rides. His name is Apollo and he has one blue eye. I followed the two around in the pasture and in a little forest. I was really […]
One quiet evening in the fall of last year I was browsing the Internet looking for places where wild Mustangs ran free. Out of the blue and for no apparent reason I felt like typing the word Montana in. And that’s when it happened: the Montana Horses website came up and with it, some exhilarating […]
I love Gypsy Vanner horses: their long manes blowing in the week, their friendly personalities, their immense strength. A few weeks ago my dear friend Poppy invited me to accompany her on a little trip to Picton where she keeps one of her two horses: Belle. What a fantastic time that was! I played around […]
Back in February I have had the immense pleasure and joy to present my “White-Power and Grace” fine equine art collection to the world. Sixteen large canvases were exhibited in the contemporary space of the Art Square Gallery, downtown Toronto. A very emotional and extremely rewarding experience! What mattered to me immensely was people deeply […]
I have had the chance to meet horses every time I went away, close or far, be it around Toronto or elsewhere in the world. I recall the peaceful feeling triggered by such encounters and the electrifying experience of simply being around these graceful animals, observing them, enjoying the powerful energy they exude….the desire of […]
