These are my latest pieces in clay.  They will be ready for the 40th annual Sculpture in the Park Show, August 9-11, 2024 in Loveland, CO.  

My inspiration for this bluebird/sunflower:  I kept thinking about the joy in gifting a bluebird of happiness.  I sculpted the bird first and then decided it needed a food source to create more context.  What better than another symbol of happiness from nature, the sunflower!  I may call this Double Happiness.  

Title TBD:  Bluebird and Sunflower

My inspiration for this squirrel:  I saw a photo of a squirrel reaching over a pond with his back feet clinging to a branch and stretching to his max to reach the water's surface or whatever was beyond.  Reminded me that real growth for all of us usually happens at the edges of our comfort zone.  For the conservative artist within me, this is a great reminder to stretch farther and see where it takes me.  Thinking of calling this What Lies Beyond.
