Cathey Delisle " BD Arabian"

Cathey DeLisle
Born in North Carolina, Cathey has settled in the Ozarks where she has been sculpting since 2002.

She is forever rescuing animals and currently shares her life with 8 dogs; some of which have special needs and require therapy or special diets (one has crushed vocal cords and no teeth due to previous abuse). Thus she is grateful to have a gift that permits her to work from home: sculpting and creating a pet line of pottery.

Inspiration for her whimsical equine statues came from seeing 4 draft horses walking down the dirt lane towards her house in search of water and food. Of course they ended up at her house and spent time “mowing” the grass and looking in the window’s – watching her observing them! They spent 3 weeks watching one another. Thus began Cathey’s journey from creating pottery to expanding her creativity to sculpting horses. She now creates several series: Tall Foals, Baby Drafts, Bodacious Babies, and wired hair to name a few.
