Patriot – Maricopa, AZ - Fiberglass Horses on Waymarking.com

Artist: Kristal Melody Hoeh
Sponsor: Daughters of the American Revolution
Location: in front of Maricopa police substation


Her sponsor, Daughters of the American Revolution, contacted her wanting her to paint a horse for them.
Since Hoeh’s a nature artist, she wanted to incorporate an eagle in her design, especially since it symbolizes America. She also enjoys making objects look realistic with shadows and highlights.
“I think the whole idea of people just trying to do their best with ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,’ that’s what I was thinking about when I was painting the horse,” she said. “Making your own life, finding your own happiness and the idea of democracy with being able to have a voice. I think that’s important. Be grateful for my own liberty.”
Her sponsor talked with her a bit about what they were hoping for when creating the horse art, like the stars and their motto, ‘historic preservation, education and patriotism.’
She said she feels like her country is a bit fractured lately and hopes people can look past their differences for the greater good. When people look at her horse, she wants them to reflect on “our shared goals and values as a nation and work towards those.”
When she was asked to do a horse, she felt honored and excited. She loved that people recognized her skill and that it was a message she believed in.
