The works of Evaline Clarke Sellors (1904-1995) can be seen all over Fort Worth — from her bas-reliefs at Farrington Field, including a male figure modeled on “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh ’36, to the Cubistic steers that adorn North Side High School.

This work of hers, simply titled “Young Girl” resides atop the old-school card catalog on the second floor of the Mary Couts Burnett Library near Special Collections. The sculpture was a gift to the university from Marion Day Mullins ’25 in 1985.

One of Cowtown’s most prominent sculptors, Sellors was a member of the influential Fort Worth Circle, artists who nurtured and inspired the local arts community through much of the 20th Century. She began her art training at age 8 and went on to Washington University in St. Louis, where she and her sister created a stuffed dog named Tut’s Pup, named after the recently discovered tomb of King Tutankhamen. They patented the design and sold it to a manufacturer who renamed it Woof Woof and its sales financed her art training at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
