Inspired by the rare Kermode, or “Spirit Bear,” this pale yellow flower-bearing bear carries two baskets overflowing with flowers draped gently across its back. Found in the ancient coastal forests of Canada, the Spirit Bear holds deep significance within Indigenous traditions, where it is seen as a sacred reminder of balance, harmony, and respect for the natural world. According to legend, Raven turned the black bear white as a living memory of the ice-covered earth, ensuring future generations would remember the beauty and fragility of nature.
Seated quietly with an offering-like presence, the sculpture embodies gentleness, protection, and reverence for the earth. The flowers suggest gifts gathered from the land itself—symbols of gratitude, renewal, and care for what is sacred and increasingly vulnerable. Perfect for a nature altar or contemplative space, the piece invites reflection on our connection to the wild world and the responsibility to protect it.
Inspired by figurative art, African heritage, and a twist of fantasy, my sculptures embody the tension between loss and hope, reality and mythology. They represent freedom, resilience, and the ever-present struggle to adapt. Through clay, I aim to give movement to stillness, to capture the echo of hooves against the sky, and to tell stories of creatures no longer bound by earth, but transformed in the pursuit of survival.
this piece is expertly crafted from stoneware clay and meticulously finished with underglaze and highlights of gloss glaze this creature is the perfect sculpture for whimsical and quirky home decor lovers, and is sure to spark conversations and bring a touch of magic and fun to any room.
