Sculpting the Dog
Shown here is a model I have prepared for the "Sculpting the Dog" workshop I'm teaching at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina the first week of June. It is now filled and there is a waiting list, however I am offering private tuition at my studio in Guffey, Colorado as my schedule permits. All levels of skill are welcome, I can teach to complete beginners as well as advanced sculptors. If you're interested contact me contact me .
New Gallery Representation
In April my husband, Chris and I delivered a truck load of my sculptures to Giacobbe-Fritz Gallery in Sante Fe, New Mexico. The gallery has an excellent location on Canon Road in the heart of Sante Fe. I am one of only two sculptors featured in the gallery and so there is plenty of room for my bronzes both inside and out. If you're in Sante Fe I hope you'll take the time to visit. For a complete list of galleries where you cans see my work in person visit my exhibitions page.
New Models
I had a couple of Siamese as I was growing up in England, Jasmine and Natasha. I am more than ready to share my life with these felines again. My husband, Chris, has agreed to let me have not one but TWO of these gorgeous creatures. Pictured here is Adora, the other is her cousin, Illana. These retired show cats were bred by Dianne Alexy of Alexy Siamese. We will be picking them up in North Carolina after the Sculpting the Dog workshop and driving back to Colorado. It will be an interesting three day drive! I can't wait.
Press
My sculpture is featured in two dog magazines this April and May: Doggie Aficionado has a nice article and full page picture of me with High Four (check me out on the home page of their website) and Dog World Magazine shows a full page photo of my half life size Chickadee! This summer City Dog magazine in Seattle will also run a story on me as an artist. All wonderful exposure.
Equidae Gallery Demonstration
I enjoyed my visit to the horse racing season in Saratoga Springs so much last year that I decided to go again in 2008. On Friday morning August 31st I'll be giving a demonstration on how I sculpt an animal in clay. The identity of the animal is secret right now, even from me :) It could be a lion, a horse or maybe I'll play it safe and go with a dog. Please stop by Equidae Gallery and watch. I may be a little biased but I think Terry Lindsey has the nicest gallery in Saratoga!
