Here I am with the first Art Doll that I ever sculpted. During the time of making him, he became a part of the family and he's here to stay.  He mostly hangs out in my dining room, I guess he likes all the windows.

I know several people who sculpt and it looked so fun, I had only done 2D art in the past, mostly portaiture.  Once I touched my first block of clay, I was hooked. 

In addition to my sculpting, I am a wife and homeschool mom and work with animal rescue, behavior and training.  Since I was a child, I felt most connected to my true self when I am around animals.  You will often see animals showing up in my work.

Because I saw many animals going into shelter environments due to unwanted behaviors, I started studying and learning about animal behavior and training about 9 years ago.  Last year I became a SATS Certified Trainer.
