About Rhett
Rhett is an icon of the wild Mustang—symbolizing a life lived free, limitless, unique, and beautiful. A bold little stallion, he remained unbroken and untamed, even in a populated area.
Through this painting—and the photograph that inspired it—Rhett lives on. He continues to represent the maverick and the brave, those who overcome every storm life throws at them—whether that be shipwreck or hurricane—and reminds us that we were born to ride above the dirt in life.
Painting Inspiration
Hooves Touch The Wind is a painting by Grace Atherton, created with permission, and inspired by a beautiful photograph taken by Chris Ruyle and Greg Sloan of Chris Corolla Creations. Their work captures the essence of the wild Mustangs on the Outer Banks.

Museum-Quality Canvas & Longevity
This painting is printed on museum-quality canvas using archival-grade, acid-free ink designed for longevity and vibrancy. With proper care, your canvas can last 75 to 100 years or longer, depending on environmental conditions.
According to archival material studies, pigment-based inks on acid-free canvas—when kept out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures or humidity—can retain their color and integrity for decades, often well beyond a lifetime.
Care Tips
- Do not place glass directly over the canvas when framing as it can trap moisture and harm the artwork
- Display away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting, which can accelerate fading
- Avoid areas with high humidity, like bathrooms, to prevent warping or mold
- Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use chemicals or cleaners
Following these simple steps, will help ensure your painting is a lasting treasure for generations
