Its only natural, this obsession with animals and nature.

When I was little I spent much of my free time high up in a tree or down at the creek catching frogs and snakes (much to my mother's horror).

I longed to ride horses (thank you Walter Farley for the dreams of flight and freedom!). I tried to connect with and understand every animal I met as well as those I never could but learned about thanks to documentaries on tv.

Naturally my art is focused on them.

These tiny sculpture casts in silver, bronze and ceramic earthenware are such a delightful part of the journey.

My Studio Friends get priority access to new releases so please hop over and join us. I’m truly grateful for you!

P.S. You get some behind the scenes peeks on my Instagram account. I’m not a consistent or frequent uploader there but there’s some video etc that aren’t as easy to put in a website.
