  SCULPTOR STUDIO

  BE CAVALIER

 

Ken and Laura live in Northern Arizona where they share their studio home with their Cavaliers.   Laura's passion is immortalizing this wonderfully endearing breed by utilizing the traditional art of lost wax casting.

Laura has always had an affinity for animals.  This passion was shared with her father as a child growing up in the foothills at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains on the central California coast.  During her adult years, she continued to have horses, cats, and several breeds of dogs along the way. All very much loved.  Most particularly appreciated was a lovely tri colored sheltie named Fala. Fala taught her the true depths of the connection possible between man and dog.  But, when Laura discovered the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel during the summer of 1991, she knew that she had found perfection, so far as she was concerned. Her desire is to create artistic interpretations that embody the character of these alluring creatures that is so very evident as we observe them and share our lives with them, but becomes elusive when attempting to capture their unique personalities in artistic expression.

Ken's professional art career has spanned the last thirty years beginning with his graduation from the prestigious Art Center College of design in Los Angeles, CA. He has won national and international awards. He finds fulfillment in the mastery of several art forms, not wanting to be constrained by any single method of artistic expression. He has a rare ability to bring a quality to his work that sets it apart.  It has been called "soul" or "spirit".  The embodiment of the essence of his subject.

All of the sculptural art that Ken and Laura create, from their jewelry to bronze sculpture., is completely handmade in the USA using the traditional lost wax casting method. Their jewelry is cast in sterling silver, or solid 14K or 18K gold, white gold, and platinum with options for precious stone settings. There are as many variations as can be conceived of to make each piece unique and befitting the personality of each individual.

A portion of all sales are donated to several Cavalier King Charles rescue groups regularly including The Lucky Star Foundation, and the regional CKCSC, USA groups, as well as ACKCSC rescue.
