Dogs. I freaking love dogs, their soft vulnerable eyes, their quirky souls, I mean what’s NOT to love? I began making them a few years ago and they have become part of my practice. In addition to doing dog sculptures, dog salt and pepper shakers, dog bottle stoppers (there’s a them there, eh?) I also do custom commissions which always are a gift for me to do. I am energized by the challenge of working with each dog’s unique look and spirit—their crazy quirks and personalities. I work to find the marriage between my voice and who they are. It’s an invigorating practice and meditation that takes me unexpected places. I also enjoy the connection I make with the pets and their “commissioners”—it’s a bond unlike any other.!
