Bronze edition of 7
“The Spin at Liberty” is a 1/4 scale maquette of a quarter horse stallion, Country Bay Berry,
performing the reining horse spin (at liberty). I was so inspired watching this stallion spin in
his reining routine; I wanted to capture that movement in bronze and portray the feeling of
roundness, throughout the piece. He literally gets in a ball and spins like a top. He is an amaz-
ing stallion with a sweet personality. He even smiles when he is performing. I have sculpted
that smile and his big soft eyes in the sculpture as well.
Shown at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in the Reined Sport Horse Foundation suites.

The symbolism in this sculpture is based on traditional Native American beliefs that the bison
represented abundance. In many cultures the horse represents power. The combination of the
two totems is the power of belief transforming into action. 2011 8th place in Ex Arte Equinus

“Prairie Thunder” is a cowgirl and horse emerging from a rock, like a clap of thunder. Together they are full of spirit and
life; she is confident and in control, but having fun-- the horse is wild, powerful and fiery, but not angry or mean. They are
all attributes or emotions we seek in our own lives.

The Spirit of Women
by Tammy Bality
In the dawn of her years
She’s youthful as spring
Full of energy like a filly
She prances and flirts with her hair flying high
The pattern of life tumbles, moment over
moment
At noontime when the sun is high
A fine young maiden
Soars like the hawk
With vision and purpose
The pattern of life repeats itself, one day
to the next
When twilight embraces
She becomes the mother
Tending responsibilities and caring for others
Like the harvest moon o’er wheaten fields, she glows with warmth
The pattern of life repeats itself, day after day
She is wisdom now
In the stillness of midnight
Still strong, still radiant, she welcomes her wintertime
Now many creatures come…
Raven shows the waning moon
Hawk reflects her intellect
Horse carries her on a dreamer’s journey
Her spirit is larger than her life
The pattern of life repeats itself, generation after generation

Biography
About Tammy Bality
As an only child growing up on the Colorado farm her family originally homesteaded in
1875, Tammy Bality shared a special connection with animals: The horses, calves, dogs, cats,
and birds were her friends.
Ever since she could hold a crayon, art has been Tammy’s form of expression. Tammy now
creates sculptures that capture animals’ life force and honor their spirits.
Compelled to create
Tammy has always felt a bond with animals and aimed to recreate that feeling in art, but it
wasn’t until the 1988 Loveland Sculpture Show that she felt compelled to try her hand at
sculpting bronze.
Drawing on a variety of life experiences and technical workshops, Tammy developed her
own signature style utilizing different techniques and media to create unique pieces repre-
senting our interconnectedness with animals.
Mixing media and melding heritages
People have always had a spiritual connection to animals through the millennia, whether it’s through Native American folklore
or Celtic mythology, and Tammy aims to honor that through her artwork.
Growing up in Colorado, Tammy loved the tributes to animals incorporating antlers, fur, feather and stone seen in Native
American artwork. These tributes lead the artist to delve into her own heritage, exploring Swedish, Irish and Scottish history
for inspiration and she was thrilled to discover that her Druid and Viking ancestors also had animal totems and tributes.
Tammy combines traditional influences with a variety of media and sculpting techniques to create innovative art that gives
voice to nature’s spirit.
She sculpts horses, dogs, birds of prey, bulls and bears from clay, bronze and crystal, incorporating silver and stone as well.
Tammy enjoys exploring the strengths of each medium – the freedom and spontaneity of ceramic, the strength and precision of
bronze, the luminosity and intrigue of crystal – and complementing their weaknesses with the strengths of the others.
Art on a Grand Scale
In the scope of Tammy’s body of work, you will find delicate Raku horses and Journey Ponies, life-like bronze representa-
tional pieces ranging from miniature to monumental, spiritual Celtic-inspired totems and tributes, and breathtaking birds of
prey.
Tammy’s work is available in collections nationwide and at Chisholm Gallery in Millbrook, New York.
