It all begins with the animal I am designing for.
Before materials are chosen or forms are sculpted, I immerse myself in extensive research — studying the animal’s native terrain, climate, specific husbandry needs, and instincts.
Every decision I make is rooted to meet those needs and support the enrichment of each animal.
My design habitats evolve along the way as I try and realistically echo their natural habitats — spaces that allow animals to climb, burrow, bask, retreat, and thrive as they were meant to. Each design is unique and created specifically for your pet.
I work with you to make certain you like the progress for your peace of mind. I also insist, if possible, to know the name of the animal I am designing for as it makes it much more personal and fun for me - A picture is even better!
The animal comes first.
The beauty follows.
Painting the details on this commissioned piece. My favorite part of every build! My process is evolving and I love experimenting with new mediums. Some of my "experiments" have been epic failures, but everything is valuable in its own way.
