Small Bird-Figures
My bird-size figures start in clay. They may be modeled with portrait features, like Egyptian, Greek, or Central American predecessors, or as simplified abstractions. Some are then cast from silicone molds to make limited editions of cast stone or resin, with finishes ranging from metallic aluminum, copper, or bronze, to the varied colors of precious stones. Portrait bird-figures can be commissioned on request.
