No idea how I happened upon this artists site, though her work is nice. Neat picts of how it is actually done.

I guess she must be fairly well known, as one page states, "By the same sculptor who created life size bronzes for the Kentucky Horse Park."

I spent two years learning to work in Bronze.

It is wonderful, maddening, and gloriously difficult. It is om my retirement "someday" list of things to explore again. :)

Gorgeous work...just gorgeous.

Not usually my thing, but I like those.

So many horrible horse bronzes out there, it was quite pleasing to come across these. She does a splendid job.

The AQHA museum has some life size bronze sculptures outside that are really neat and well done, the horses and cattle look very natural:
