My imagination has long been inspired by reading the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and others. Tolkien’s world building is astounding and I found myself wishing to ride the fabulous Shadowfax, the magnificent Mearas stallion of Rohan. The Mearas are the legendary “first horses” of the land. Wise, powerful and loyal to the the righteous, they spark longing in the hearts of many horse lovers.

My first fine silver metal clay sculpture represents my own horse Remi. I wear him almost constantly to keep him close to my heart always. I've made this special piece to order for a few customers who have either chosen it for themselves or gifted it to a special horse lover in their lives.

Childhood delight. I think this might be foundational to my satisfaction in creating art. I was also obsessed with capturing animals in realistic and at least somewhat accurate form using whatever came to hand.

I’m eagerly looking forward to being more active in my Studio in 2024! There are threads of fascination, curiousity and creativity that I can’t wait to follow. I hope you’ll join me in the journey!
