Mostly Mammals

The intent of my creations is to make them relatable, evoking an emotive response. They share grace as the common trait.

By utilizing anthropomorphism, whimsy, parody and subversiveness I show art can elicit a positive effect on our consciousness. Zen Bull and Lotta Bull have distinct nods to Eastern philosophies but as the name suggests, dissent to take themselves too seriously. The ever popular sheep series plays with the idea of herd mentality, following the crowd and celebrating the individuality of the black sheep.
For millennia, cultures have revered the spirit of power animals. Panthers, Wolves, Horses, Bulls, Pigs, Ravens, Rabbits and Lambs all have been believed to be sacred.

In 2021 I was commissioned by Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, aka A-Rod, to sculpt a wolf for the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

My appreciation of wolves and admiration for their intelligence, spirit has inspired me to create a new version. A percentage of sale proceeds will be donated to Wolf advocacy groups as wolves are currently threatened again from indiscriminate barbaric hunting.
