"Safe Harbor"

This sweet sculpture is of a sea otter and her pup, who is shown asleep on her belly while she floats on the surface of the sea. Rip wanted to honor mothers with this composition, which reflects the love and the protecting essence of all living matriarchs; whether human or animal.

This sculpture is available for precast purchase now.

Price: $2175 precast

Retail: $2900 (in bronze)

"Admiral Chester W. Nimitz Memorial"

After a nation wide search, Rip was selected by the Naval Order of the U.S. to create a larger than life sculpture of Five-star Admiral Chester W. Nimitz for installation at the USS Missouri War Memorial in Pearl Harbor, HI.

The sculpture is in progress and on display in the Studio until the end of March, 2013, at which time it will be sent to the foundry for casting. It is scheduled for unveiling in Pearl Harbor on Sept. 2nd, 2013.

"New Beginnings"

A very special Christmas-time release of a long time collector favorite, this reduced version of the life-size mule deer trio is now available for pre-cast purchase. "New Beginnings" represents the quiet beauty of a mother doe and her twin fawns soon after their entrance to the world; one peeks out from the safety of her mother's hindquarters, while the other is just struggling to use his new legs.

Size: 9 x 14 x 6 inches

Price: $1950 precast

"Water's Edge II"

Much like the first "Water's Edge" this basin resonates with the peace and beauty of a wetland area. A pair of frogs nestle on the bowl's edge, surrounded by images of reeds and lilypads. On the surrounding outer bowl, herons are seen wading amongst the cattails. This piece when finished will be available as a table top decorative bowl or as a working sink basin. It is now available for a short time at precast pricing.

Size: 7 x 14 x 14 inches
