Breeders Cup - Art of the Horse

To celebrate the first ever running of the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar, I was commissioned by the Breeders’ Cup Host Committee to design a life-sized artistic reproduction of the Torrie Horse. For my design I chose to represent the wreaths of flowers presented to winning horses. California  happens to be the largest flower-producing state in the country, and this glass tile mosaic depicts many of the varieties of flowers grown in California some of which will be presented to this year’s winners.
