I have been told that horses can hear a human heartbeat from 4 feet away.  Every horse I make takes me down the memories of so many physical exams of their muscles, tendons and ligaments, looking for swellings or soreness.  Every muscle and eye is a memory for me. 

I graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985 and practiced in Texas and Pennsylvania. I currently reside in Burnet, Texas with my husband of 37 years. I have one daughter, a son in-law and two grandchildren.

For the past 40 years, I have practiced on all types of animals from the smallest birds and rats to horses, cows, dogs and cats.  My time as a veterinarian took me all over the US , Europe along with work in Nicaragua, Ecuador and Turks and Caicos.   I felt humbled having these animals as my patients and always strived to do what was best for them.
During Covid,  I found myself with some free time and took up clay.   I immediately started making horses and have not stopped!   The majority of my work is done using a stoneware paper clay.  I mix my own raku glazes.  My larger sculptures are supported by a hand welded rebar armature and mounted to a solid wood base.  

Recent work has been accepted in juried shows: San Angelo National Ceramic Show 2024, Georgetown Art Fest 2024, Llano Art Guild.
