I sculpt animals becasue they are cute.  I am also allergic to all pets except roaches.  My allergist suggested a giant hissing roach as a pet.  I refuse to have a roach as a pet; therefore, my pets are ceramic.  

I love sculpting animals that are busy living life.  I will spend hours looking for pictures I can take bits and pieces from to make the perfect pose and motion for that particular animal.  The orangutan I am sculpting in the picture is a pose i pieced together from 4 or 5 pictures.
