I'm an engineer by training (no pun intended!) and love the artistry that went into some of the old time industrial equipment. I also was born horse crazy and cherish every moment on horseback. Since trains were called the Iron Horse, it was a perfect opportunity to combine my love of engineering, horses, and art.
 
I'd like to thank Mary Crowley and Karen Seward for getting the idea for a community arts project off the ground. In addition, I'd like to thank Michael Divoll for customizing my train for me, and Aaron Sanborn for helping me transport it.
