My art based on the belief that humans have a moral responsibility to treat animals with respect. We can safely assume that animals generally prefer to live, to be free and to express their natural behaviors!
Every part of my creations is meticulously handcrafted to be as realistic as possible. I create my animals by first making a wire "skeleton" then felting over the wire. After the animal is sculpted, I can add details such as glass eyes, noses, or whiskers. I have gone a long way of self - teaching, so making mistakes was inevitable, as well as experimenting. Wool is amazing medium to work with
