Comments From Advisory Board
-
“Boundless energy and colorful patterns inhabit Horton’s compositions and tickle the imagination. The patchwork end result is inspired by a variety of natural, earth forms. Landscapes, clouds and waterways are juxtaposed into a unified image, mapping out remote destinations.”
