I made my living doing whimsical wood sculpture for over twenty years. Then, I hit a mid-life crisis which ended up taking me in new directions artistically. I continue to do the sculpture but I’ve branched out in the last year into photography and encaustic painting. I’m a woman obsessed about creating. I’m also obsessed about the gift my husband gave me for my fiftieth birthday, a beautiful, dapple gray horse that I call, Mouse. She has become the inspiration and subject of much of my art.
You can see more of my work in different mediums as well as links to my friends’ work at:

Be patient, the web site is still a work in progress but then, so am I:)Sande)
