Taking inspiration from the Chinese Zodiac, this sculpture is adorned with 12 specifically curated animals native to the United States.  Each animal holds symbolic representation for the viewer to explore. 

Artist Statement:

Animals and the natural world drive my work. Intentionally chosen, I rely on the calming energy nature shares to connect us to ourselves. My sculptures serve as a symbolic mirror, drawing you in, and asking you to look beyond initial impressions for interpretation, intention, or guidance. Encouraging viewers to be fully present, letting go of thoughts that dictate our being, and rather just be. My work is both delicate and gentle, a metaphor for how we can show up for ourselves and others I intend that my work nudges viewers of awakening and reflection.
