'The Christmas Pony', by Deborahmae Broad

See more of her work at; www.deborahmaebroad.com/

Deborahmae was a third year graduate student in the
fine arts department when I arrived in Knoxville in 1979.

She was all about animals, expecially horses. She trained
horses, rode horses, drew and painted horses. She even had
her own horse 'Joanie' available in a nearby stable. She was a
creative, determined printmaker under the tutelage of one
extraordinary artist and legendary teacher, the late great
Byron McKeeby.

In the early Eighties, fine art college teaching jobs were like
trying to find hen's teeth with a transistor radio. See what I did there,
mixing up cliches....what better way to say that it was almost
impossible. That said, she was so good, she was immediately hired at Slippery Rock State College in Butler, PA.
The next year she was off to Minnesota State University, Moorhead,
where she taught Printmaking, Drawing and Bronze casting from 1982-2003.
