Leo and Boaris
Fired clay with casein, each approximately 7"x 17"x 6"


Leo and Boaris are a pair enjoying a day in the garden. I imagine Boaris reading his favorite story from "Savanna Tales: Boaris and Leo's Awesome Adventure" while Leo listens and idly draws in the sand.
Boaris is one of the most versatile figures in the group, being able to partner with every other figure.

The Garden Party
Fired clay with casein
Private collection: Las Cruces, NM

The Garden Party is a grouping of  "whimsically desk-sized" humanimals, created to be placed in various interactive poses  with one another. I imagine them in a garden on a warm summer day, just about tea-time, lounging and chatting.

I find a compelling undercurrent in this grouping of imaginary creatures wherein predator and prey animals - foes in the natural world - are playing together and sharing their stories, and as a result, getting along and enjoying each other's company. Perhaps in these times, there are things we could learn from them.
