Patsy has been an artist all her life. Dogs, horses,
birds ... anything wild she could get to follow her home were the subjects of
her drawing and sculpture from the time she could hold a crayon. After
graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in the mid seventies she
worked as an Industrial Designer for over 25 years.
Particularly known for her dog sculpture, she also
developed hundreds of giftware and toy lines including "My Little
Pony" for Hasbro Toys, as well as product lines for many major
companies; among them Warner Bros. and Disney.
Today she brings her years of experience and artistic
focus back to the animals she loves. Sculpting almost 100% from life, her
work in bronze reflects many years of discipline and attention to detail.
"The anatomy and realistic details are just tools to bring life and
texture to the sculpture." More important are the
stories her sculptures tell, the sense of movement and most of all a
glimpse into the hearts and minds of the animals she portrays.
In 1996 Patsy moved to
Southwest Colorado
and together with her husband started an Elk Ranch. It is
here that she spends most of her time sculpting, surrounded by nine horses,
two mules, four dogs, five cats
and over 200 elk.
I hope you enjoy this site and can take the time to view
the sculptures presented . Take a tour of the Mad
Hatter Elk Ranch while you are here!
