     My most iconic work are my Messenger Horses, which have gemstones as the mane and tail and openings that reveal symbolic elements inside. They come with miniature books stating the materials, and meaning of the horse and its gemstones. Many recent horses have anthropomorphic figures riding them.  Some explore the Sacred Feminine which led to my series, Equine Goddesses, which was featured in two shows. 

     Much of my inspiration comes from trips I have taken to ancient sacred Earth sites and my interest in ancient mythologies, Nature, and the inner or mystical life. 

     I often fire my pieces in the raku method which makes them even more one-of-a-kind and related to Nature. 

     I enjoy doing clay portraits of people who inspire me. My bust of Deb Haaland received an award in the 2022 Fall Arts Festival in Taos. It was later on display in the foyer of the Milllicent Rogers Museum in Taos. 

     I was featured in an article in Western Horseman Magazine – the September 2024 edition. 

     Another recent series are anthropomorphic figures with Hoo Doos and other iconic new Mexican landscape features. 

     The newest work is my clay and mixed media Portal series, started in late 2025. I make clay “portals” inspired by stones with natural holes through them, considered extremely auspicious in places like Ireland. They are known as holey stones, hag stones, adder stones or Druid stones. It is said that when we peer though the holes, we are able to see the unseen world or fairy realm. I put original translucent glass photographs in them that changes with the light and gives off an otherworldly glow. Human, animal or anthropomorphic sculpted figures add to their story.
