Grace is the work of Sharol Batey Rickman, sponsored by Shelly Marshall Schmidt - Oh Schmidt Productions. Her body is blue, covered primarily by a beautiful peacock feather pattern, complemented by floral details. That could be grass above her hooves, from which the flowers appear to grow, and her head has an interesting pattern.
