A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF AMERICA'S MUSTANGS
THROUGH STUNNING WILD HORSE PHOTOGRAPHY.
“There is a strong connection between wild horses
and the American identity. As I travel the Western states tracking and photographing the American mustangs, my aim is to create artwork
and tell the stories that evoke that connection.
To this end, there is a sense of both the real and the mythological in my images. Visual narratives through which people can see the wild horses in a different way
- and may actually see themselves more clearly in the process.”
​
~ Maria Marriott, Wild Horse Photographer
"Maria's work evokes such a huge emotional response from people when they see it. The compositions and technique are phenomenal.
But the actual personification of human emotions
that her shots capture are universal and go right to the heart."
- Sara Robertson, JBGallery

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY
IMAGINE STANDING on the top of a small mountain, looking over a vast expanse of American wilderness, a largely dry plain with the occasional water hole in the distance. You see a series of small dots towards the horizon, which could be rocks, bushes, or cattle. But lifting your binoculars, you are able to see that it is a herd of mustangs.
