Carol Lake

Juried Member Since 2025

Carol’s sculptural practice is rooted in over 45 years of hands-on experience in farming and the equine industry, where she developed an intimate understanding of animal anatomy, movement, and spirit. As a farmer, she spent decades reading the subtle language of animals—assessing health through touch, observing the poetry of posture, and forming deep bonds with the creatures in her care.

This hard-won anatomical knowledge now flows directly into her sculptural work.

“Each sculpture becomes an act of communion—a way to once again feel the weight, warmth, and essence of animals I no longer physically tend. Through clay, I continue the conversation that began in barns and pastures.”
