Beautiful Bennington, Vermont! So very much looking forward to this show! I hope if you find yourself nearby you will come by and for a visit. I am now a Signature Member of the American Women Artists and the show this year is being hosted by Bennington Center for the Arts. The show itself will be at the Center until November 13th and “Meow” will be available to one lucky collector.
The sculpture “Meow” represents balance. This big cat has a big ecological significance. “Meow” is an advocate to “Get Back the Cat”. How important this apex predator is! And not just for the western states where this elusive animal still lives in the wild. As deer populations continue to increase across the U.S., getting back the cat – often called the best hunter in the world – would be a very good thing.

37+ Years of Extraordinary Art
For thirty-seven years and counting, Artexpo has been changing the way people buy and sell art. Our annual, juried expo brings the biggest publishers, galleries and collectors face to face with hundreds of established and emerging artists. In short, we’re the world’s largest fine art marketplace.
Hundreds of Artists, Thousands of New Works
This year, we’ll host over 400+ innovative exhibiting artists, galleries and publishers from across the globe, showcasing exciting original artwork, prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, giclee, lithographs, glass works and more—all under one roof at Pier 94.
An Annual Fine Art Destination
Each year thousands of art industry insiders flock to Artexpo New York in search of the art and artists that will shape trends in galleries worldwide. Hosting more than 25,000 avid art enthusiasts annually, we’re the largest international gathering of qualified trade buyers—including gallery owners and managers, art dealers, interior designers, architects, corporate art buyers, and art & framing retailers.
My sculpture will be available to my East Coast collectors this weekend. See the original paperclay/mixed media sculpture, “Magical”. This-one-of-a-kind sculpture “Magical” is not only the largest sculpture I’ve ever done – Raitman Art Gallery has persuaded me to offer the original to sell. I’m not sure it will remain for sale after this weekend. I am very attached to it myself and there is a very special place in my house where it looks pretty fabulous. It has been 3-D scanned and will be available as a very limited edition bronze. A very limited limited edition. The pre-cast pricing available is for collectors who wish to get a great price on a future bronze casting of:
“Magical” (the horse going to a costume party dressed as a unicorn)- there will only be 5 castings;
“Mystical” (an actual unicorn- no bow) – only 5 castings made; and
“Missy” (no unicorn horn – she’s just an extra wonderful horse) – only 5 castings.
Check out this video of the making of “Magical”

I will be in Breckenridge this weekend to unveil the large sculpture I started in Jackson last September. I will also be demonstrating by starting a new sculpture. “Magical” is the first large sculpture I’ve ever done and will be 3-D scanned and available as a limited edition bronze. A very limited limited edition. Pre-cast pricing will be made available to collectors who wish to get a special price on a bronze casting during this weekend and the next and, if I haven’t fallen in love with the original too much – I might be persuaded to part with it.
The original has been coated in bronze and copper and I have applied a cold patina and some Swarovski have been added in some fun strategic places and it has been coated with jeweler’s grade resin to give added strength. “Magical” is based on a revolving stand too.
It will never be as resilient as a bronze replica – but on the other hand – the opportunity to own an original artwork of this size is a pretty amazing prospect. And I may never think about selling an original sculpture again. So here’s your chance…maybe.
Here’s a copy of the ad coming out for the show. Hope you can be there!
February 11th,
Getting busier and busier all the time. But. I have some very fun news to catch you all up on.
In November I finished the first sculpture of a new series: The Blue Moon Series.
I decided that once in a blue moon I will sculpt something other than a horse, and the Blue Moon Series was conceived and I will incorporate a blue moon into each sculpture. “Owl Ate the Blue Moon” is the first of that series; a little Spotted Owl sitting on a branch holding a little blue moon in his foot that he has taken a bite from. He has a thoughtful look on his face…he could be thinking that little mice are more delicious than blue moons. He should be finished in bronze by the end of this month. He will have a beautiful colorful contemporary patina like the horses. Here are photos of the original.
He’s adorable. You will notice from these photos that in November I was not sculpting in my studio. My old studio had been abandoned. It was too small and too much a part of the outdoor environment….being as how it was not insulated. It will become what it was designed to be from the start, a garden shed. My new studio will be ready in December. It is fabulous and I am very grateful to have it to create in. The first sculpture finished in the new studio was Okaga, the South Wind. This is the second horse of a series of 4 horses in the Lakota winds series. The mold is finished for him this week and will be in the very skilled hands of the wax chaser very soon. Expect to see him in bronze in mid April.
Here are some photos of the original paper clay in my new studio!
In December a new gallery, RS Hanna Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas started representing my work! Also, BIG news, a gallery in China is now representing my sculpture too, so my work is officially represented internationally – very exciting! Also, in January I did a show at Loveland Feed and Grain which was very fun.
And I just finished a series of three mini-mustangs last week! In bronze they will be patina’ed in the same beautiful colorful hues as my larger horses; these are photos of the original paper clay cuties! Here is a video of them:

and if you don’t have a facebook account and can’t see the video, here are some photos.
I am hoping to see these in bronze in May.
Okay – so that’s all the news for now!
