I was invited to 'Paint a Pony' for the 2009 Melbourne Cup Painted Horse Exhibition.
My blank horse was delivered and I had two months to give it a creative make-over.

I chose the theme of the solar system and painted the planets around the horse. I then included some quirky additions such as the ‘Horse Head Nebula’, a UFO, a Space Invaders character, The Space Shuttle, a window and on the horse’s tail I painted a large zipper opening up to another universe.
