Mother Loon

This miniature sculpture shows a common sight on Northern lakes. Loon parents will transport their offspring and provide floating refuge.

It was a commission meant to depict motherhood with two progeny. They are carved of tupelo and painted with oils.

Great Northern Diver

The great northern diver, or common loon, has a distinctive and eerie call that is well-known in northeastern Vermont.

This commissioned piece now resides in a private collection.
