Sarah Regan Snavely is a studio artist and sculptor who works in the extreme Southwestern corner of North Dakota making clay sculptures, handmade tiles, and, occasionally, sterling silver jewelry.
Sarah and her Greyhounds
She lives with a pack of Greyhound dogs. They are her models and the main influence of her work. She believes that the raw and honest character of the greyhound is the perfect palette for the themes expressed in her work.
Sculpture in progress
Sarah works primarily in clay. She loves its plastic and pliable nature. While the technical nature of engineering this material can be challenging. The imperfect, hand built qualities continue to interest and inspire Sarah.

Hi Would just love to get a ball park figure of your prices. The items are sooo different & they are beautiful.
Hi! Thanks so much! Boxes range from $250 – $350 mostly. My etsy store has boxes for sale right now – gives a good idea of sizes, designs, prices. Thanks again,
Sarah
Just wanted to say that I love your work.

Is it possible to see the reverse of the pendant? Would it be possible to set a stone on it? Thanks
Looks like me in the mornings, we have 4 also, one set we call the “twins”, they are brindle littermate, shy girls, just 3.
I will get a photo of the back. I’ll bet a jeweler could cut off the bail and mount it to a stone.
Aww. They sound wonderful…
Your work is beautiful, and it is such a pleasure to behold, of course. However, I”m in Winchester/Sage/Annie photo withdrawal. More soon? Pleeease? ;-D
Quel magnifique travail on aimerait pouvoir avoir toutes vos sculptures !
Dear Sarah,
I just heard that you are going to be at Lompoc next weekend. I am going to be at the lure trial nearby on Saturday. Do you have any interest in USA racing stud books from 1907 through the mid 1940”s? I have them lying around and was going to list them on Ebay but I kept thinking that I should send them to you first. (I also have some from the registry in San Francisco that preceeded the NGA up until the earthquake in 1906 but those are tiny and would have to come back to me. They have a lot of info on northern california coursing trials back then.) I will be driving to Lompoc and Back on Saturday. Let me know if you want me to drag along books. You might be flying.
