Almost all little girls love horses but that passion usually fades away as they become teenagers and other interests take priority. Not so for Deborah Butterfield. She has never lost that love. Perhaps her lifelong passion derives in part from the fact that she was born on the day of the running of the 75th Kentucky Derby. Regardless, horses have become the focus of her professional and personal life. She owns three horses and is an accomplished equestrian who performs in the precise and demanding descipline of dressage at horse shows.

The López Family: Santeros
The López family is continuing an artistic custom that began in New Mexico in the 18th century. At that time, the Hispanic population depended on receiving supplies, including religious imagery and objects, from Mexico and Spain. Because it could take months, even years, for goods to arrive, some of the colonists began, as early as 1780, to carve their own saints, using local woods and natural pigments. Thus began the santero tradition, one which continues to this day. The works are not only devotional icons used in churches and private home altars, they are also considered to be desirable sculptures highly prized by museums and private collectors throughout the world.
