Raccoons are known for their cunning, adaptability and problem-solving; perhaps that is what drew me to sculpt a raccoon as we entered the second year of COVID quarantine.

I felt pure joy as this contemplative critter’s personality blossomed in clay - so befitting their cleverness.

Bringing him into bronze proved to be an adventure of its own. Two of our three local bronze foundries closed amid the challenges of the post-COVID years, making his journey from clay to bronze much longer than anticipated. Luckily, each collector who waited patiently for their little Raccoon assured me he was totally worth the wait.

He fits right in the palm of your hand; a small bit of wildness, curiosity and resourceful spirit to bring into your world.

Each Raccoon is individually cast in bronze using the ancient lost-wax process, then chased, finished and given his patina by hand. Though part of a limited edition, no two emerge exactly alike so each one carries subtle variations from the hands, heat and alchemy of the bronze process.
