Reno Tahoe International Art Show
September 14 – 17, 2023
Reno Tahoe Convention
It is such an honor to be selected to be a part of this prestigious show in my hometown. If you have never visited the High Sierra, perhaps this fall is the time to do so. With so much to do and see during your vacation, you may decide to call Reno/Tahoe “home” as well! Come see me at the show!

It brings me great joy to be back in touch with family and friends, and even happier to have this opportunity to unveil a new chapter in my sculpting career. During COVID, I had time to rediscover my love of wild animals and move full-steam ahead creating some of Mother Nature’s wild and most interesting animals. It is my pleasure now to share three of my favorite new ‘friends’ with you!
If you are interested in learning more about my work and commissions, purchasing a sculpture, or just want to see what I have been up to,

“Artist Pablo Picasso once quoted: “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Picasso’s metaphor for life was envisioned over 50 years ago and continues to inspire me to this day. Your gift to me is the respect, appreciation, warmth, and friendship I have felt throughout my travels in Canada and United States. My gift to you is to infuse that experience of love and honor into my every piece I sculpt.
The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society’s high standards has set the high caliber of this majestic breed. Through my own experience and GVHS, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness of the Gypsy Vanners colorations and demeanor. I use a layered patina process to reflect these qualities and produce one-of-a-kind sculptures and exclusive commissions that mirror and capture the essence my clients’ horses.
I am honored to be described by the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society as “…one of the most influential and talented artists of the Gypsy Vanner breed.” and will continue to represent the Gypsy Vanners with passion and beauty the breed so clearly deserves.
NEXT GENERATION is a bust that honors the mare with her foal which I sculpted the base to look like a stack of rocks depict the building blocks of life in a contemporary patina.
And for drama, I completed the series with ARABIAN KNIGHT which is a bust of an Arabian stallion decorated with a patina costume consisting of silver and turquoise beads with tassels. At the Arabian horse shows, they have a competition of horse and rider dressed in Arabian costuming. The rider’s outfits are complimented by the matching adornments on the horse. Fantastic!
When I was sculpting the first of this series, his name shouted out to me “ATTITUDE” because he really shows attitude and makes you laugh.
SASSY displays a lighter side of life of this whimsy trio.
TROUBLE brings up the rear in this trio. He is rearing up with a lasso around his neck when he got himself loose from the corral.
With a long flowing mane, tail and feathering, this magnificent cross bread of the Shire and Dale pony by the Gypsy people of United Kingdom are as gentle as they are muscular. The Gypsy people wanted a muscular horse (the Shire) but smaller (Dale pone) to pull their Gypsy wagon called a Vardo.
These horses have beautiful coloration from black & white, brown & white, black and brown, etc. When I first saw this breed in a magazine, they looked like there were whimsy carousel horses.
My first Gypsy Vanner Stallion is GYPSY FIRE in the more common coloration of black & white patina on bronze. I also had this same sculpture cast in Lucite to add a contemporary touch.
