I was inspired by many things from my childhood for this design. Primarily My Little Ponies, I used to collect them and my mom, Linda Mattson took over my collection and now has one of the most complete My Little Pony collections.

Also, the painting is a nod to the famous Unicorn tapestries – Candie Bolton
I definitely pulled a lot of influence from my childhood to make her. I know a lot of my art boarders more on the creepy side lately, but when I was little I was all about unicorns and rainbows.
