American
Eskimo Dog
Private commission... portrait of an elderly but beloved family
companion. This is a detail of the life-size, bas relief wall art mural. |
American
Eskimo Dog
Full view... proud and
expressive, like so
many Berrien wire portraits. In 40+
years sculpting in wire,
Berrien has created lifelike and personable sculptures of most AKC
breeds, plus several engaging "mystery mixes". |
Puli,
2-dimensional wire drawing commissioned by Puli breeder Barbara Stelz
for presentation as a feature in an AKC dog show. Since Pulis are
mainly a moving mass of dreadlocks with only the dog's nose visible,
this was an exceptionally difficult challenge for Berrien -
"as complicated as a tiger or a zebra, finding the lines for all those
subtle flows of fur."
Look closely, and se if you can follow a single strand of wire back and
forth on the Puli, as wires twist, intersect, and twist again! See how
this sculpture evolved at Works
in Progress

Coyote Pair
at Hayward City Hall, during the artist's traveling exhibit. Owned by
the president of California Native Plant Society, who installed them as
landscape sculptures on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
