Sleeping Cats - Public Sculptures

$ On Inquiry

This pair of “Sleeping Cats” was designed to be placed on a large boulder at a private residence in Vermont. After making a few small clay models, we arrived at this design for larger than life cats (around 30”). We made a mold of the surface of the boulder and modeled the clay cats directly on the plaster surface for a perfect fit. My clients wanted this as their memorial in lieu of a “tombstone.” I have always tried to interest people in having something like this that they can enjoy while alive. It also saves their loved ones from having to figure out what to do as a memorial while they are grieving.

Medium: Bronze.

Sculpture in Stone and Bronze

My work is inspired by natural forms – human, plant and animal. I enjoy designing site-specific commissions in stone and bronze for corporations, private residential settings and public institutions. In between commissioned work I produce pieces that I often have on hand for sale in stone and bronze. I also design and create gold jewelry, often using subjects related to some of my larger sculptures. I am constantly trying to find ways to use my work to raise awareness about the kinship and interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of environmental conservation.

I began my study and practice of sculpture while a student at Phillips Exeter Academy in the late ’60’s. I went on to Oberlin College and majored in a combination of studio art and art history. After graduating from Oberlin in 1973, I taught sculpture and art at all levels for many years until finally focusing my attention completely on my work.
