Balancing Act

9.5" x 17.5" x 4.5", Edition of 24

Also available in black patina.

The inspiration for this sculpture was simply the elegant beauty of a relaxed cougar reclining on a graceful fallen tree. But as the title, “Balancing Act”, implies, this cat is faced with more challenges than simply managing to stay perched on that small branch, with the balance of nature disrupted over so much of his range and the fallen tree hinting at the loss of appropriate habitat.

Balancing Act Wins Best of Show Sculpture & Medal of Excellence

As soon as "Balancing Act” was finished, it immediately won two very nice awards at its first showing. The 2019 Artists For Conservation Annual Exhibition in Vancouver, Canada, gave this piece both “Best in Show, Sculpture” and a “Medal of Excellence”, only six of which were awarded.
