The Softening

from $325.00

The Softening

The Softening is a reflection on patience, compassion and the quiet transformation that trust can bring.

Captured during my time with a remarkable stallion named Rebel, this artwork tells the story of a horse whose confidence in people had been broken. Through quiet presence, gentle consistency and time, fear slowly gave way to trust.

Part of The Feeling of Horses collection, this artwork is a reminder that some of life's greatest transformations happen not through force, but through patience, kindness and the courage to simply remain present.

Fine Art Print

Each artwork is professionally printed on museum-quality archival cotton rag paper and is supplied fully framed, ready to hang.

The dimensions listed refer to the artwork (print) size. The finished framed piece will be approximately up to 3 cm larger overall.

Every piece is carefully crafted using premium archival materials to ensure exceptional quality and longevity.

Framing

Every artwork in The Feeling of Horses is offered using my Curated Framing approach.

Each photograph has been thoughtfully paired with a frame that I believe best complements its light, tones and atmosphere. Rather than offering endless framing combinations, I have chosen a presentation that allows every piece to feel complete and true to the story it tells.

All artworks are professionally framed without a mat, allowing the image to extend beautifully to the edge of the frame. This contemporary style creates a more immersive viewing experience, inviting you into the photograph without distraction and allowing the quiet beauty of the image to take centre stage.

Printed on archival cotton rag fine art paper and finished with premium Australian-made framing and UV acrylic glazing, every piece is created to be both beautiful and enduring.

I have chosen premium UV acrylic glazing rather than traditional glass. It offers the same beautiful presentation while being significantly lighter and far more durable during shipping, giving me confidence that your artwork will arrive safely while also protecting it from harmful UV light over time.

The Story Behind the Artwork

Every piece in The Feeling of Horses carries a story that extends beyond the photograph itself.

Included with each framed artwork is a beautifully printed story card, shared exclusively with collectors of the collection. Within it, I recount the quiet moments, unexpected encounters and personal reflections that led to the creation of the image—stories that aren't shared publicly on the website.

While each artwork is created to stand on its own, I hope these words offer a deeper connection to the place, the horse and the feeling that inspired the photograph.

It is my way of inviting you into the moment—not simply to see it, but to experience it alongside me.

Each artwork arrives ready to hang—carefully crafted as a finished piece, exactly as I envisioned it.
