"Undaunted Spirit"

     This weaving is dedicated to all of the courageous Telluride Adaptavie Sport Program athletes whose hearts are filled with grace, and who inspire us all to live our lives fully, each day, with “undaunted spirit.”

      I had the profound honor of working with TASP participants in the horseback program and witness their remarkable bravery. 

     I incorporated feathers in the design as they are sacred symbols of honor in Native American lore and often used in healing practices.  The two shades of green express the athletes’ enviable zeal for growth despite challenge. Sangre embodies the valiant lifeblood fueling their journey.  Yellow illustrates the illumination of inspiration and encouragement they infuse in all of us, and indigo portrays the limitless horizon of hope and triumph.

“Untamed Spirit”

     Today, as in ancient times, Native Americans give special recognition to the power of the animal spirits.  It is believed that the wisdom of each animal improves one’s connection to all of life and every creature has a different lesson to teach us about the healing of the body, mind and spirit.

  The Horse is the symbol of power, grace, beauty and nobility. 

It teaches that real power comes from strength and wisdom.  It reminds us that it requires love and compassion to achieve this.

“Before Fences” 

     The Horse’s spirit also teaches us how to ride into new directions; to overcome obstacles and awaken our own freedom.  The Spirit Horse represents new journeys and is the symbol of the wind.   As the Horse teaches, discover your wild spirit that cannot be broken. 

  Spread your wings and fly!
