POSTS STORIES REELS

Between sculpting and breeding beautiful boas, showing and grooming dogs have always been the foundation of my journey with animals and art.❤️

After six years away from China, I finally made it back to Shanghai for the 2026 Global Masters Grooming Summit! 🇨🇳

What a wonderful two days sharing my passion and experience in Wire Fox Terrier grooming!

A huge thank you to Michelle Fraser, Ferruccio Soava, Joanna Chen, and all the organizers, sponsors, and everyone who joined us for this special event!

Beyond the event, it was also a heartwarming homecoming, reconnecting with family and old friends.

So grateful that my love for animals and art continues to bring wonderful people into my life! 🥰

Life size #GreatHornedOwl sculpture update…

I’ve been working on this project on and off since last year, and recently I started to feel a much stronger voice coming from the piece itself. So here are a few photos showing where it is right now.

I love working on a subject that is unfamiliar to me, stepping away from dogs for a moment and flying into the world of birds. I can’t really describe how much excitement and joy this whole process has brought me so far.

Still a journey ahead, but I’m really enjoying watching this piece slowly come to life.

Stay tuned for more updates.

I’m excited to share the finished Standard Bull Terrier “Vinny” bronze, editions 1/9 & 2/9, finished in two different patinas.

Thank you again to Grace & Bob Thomas for commissioning this sculpture of the incredible Vinny, one of the greatest Bull Terriers in the breed’s history. It was truly an honor to sculpt him and preserve his presence in bronze.

Which one brings your peace?

After completing the mold making process for my life size #Rottweiler sculpture “Jonny”, I feel a little more grounded.

Looking back on the entire process from sculpting the clay to finally taking the mold apart……. I realize how much this piece has given me beyond the sculpture itself. All the thoughts, emotions, and spiritual moments I experienced along the way have become part of the work, and part of a journey I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Sometimes the process gives us even more than the finished piece.

Another milestone piece in both my dog show and sculpture career.

My sincere appreciation to the Bichon Frise Club of America for commissioning this low relief medallion as an award for the 50th Anniversary National Specialty Show in May 2026.

It was truly an honor to create a piece celebrating such an important milestone for the breed and the club.❤️❤️❤️

“CHAD” Affenpinscher, the Monkey Terrier, finally from life into bronze!!! 🐵 🐵🐵

From sculpting the original to making the mold with my own hands, and finally seeing him come to life in bronze , this part never gets old.

Bronze | Limited Edition of 9

What makes this piece even more special is that CHAD is my final 8” commissioned sculpture , the end of a chapter for this small scale format.

A huge thank you to Chad’s owner, Mario J. Panlilio Jr., for commissioning this piece and trusting me to capture his special boy in bronze. ❤️
