Available Totem Poles

This totem pole is pure playful joy at its very best. These rascals are up to no good while their mom is away. They remind us of how much fun it is to be a kid and feel like you're getting away with something! I want to jump onto the pile and play too.

How happy is this totem? I just love the party feeling I get when I see it – it reminds me of arriving at a birthday party and the excitement of seeing a piñata full of goodies just waiting to be collected after the fun of breaking the piñata is over. I can almost taste the sweet delicious candies now. This totem transports me to a festive place where I feel the sun on my face, lively music, friends and good cheer all around. The tuxedo cat on the top serves as a sort of master of ceremonies for the party, as is the way of cats.

Fishing  Pole was made during a time when I had a lot of mental hoops to jump  through. Not realizing it while I was making the totem pole  I thought I was  just making a totem about fish swimming . I wanted to use the hoops to  create the feeling of movement for the fish, like they were suspended in  the water. It was not until the piece was almost all built that I  looked at it and saw the hoop jumping that my life had been doing  represented in the piece. I am always amazed when this happens even  though so much of my work has an autobiographical aspect to it. I never  seem to see it coming!

Flamingo in Paradise suggests a tropical setting with a light afternoon breeze blowing cool air over the water and on to the beach. You can feel the warm sand between your toes as you take an afternoon stroll. Bright yellow sunbeams reflect off of the emerald green foliage. As you stroll along the beach you can smell the playful scent of the many tropical flowers that grow along the waters edge. Nearby, you see a bright pink flamingo slowly picking its way through the reeds hunting for shrimp to snack on.

This sweet little bandit is peeking through the bushes asking "Who's There?” This piece takes me back to my childhood when my family and I stayed in our little cabin tucked away in the redwoods. 

Every morning I woke up to the crisp fresh air of the redwood forest. My favorite woodland creatures were the raccoons. I have very fond memories of feeding the scampering raccoons over the top of the dutch door at our cabin when I was a little girl. They were so adorable with their bandit masks and clever little paws. The little raccoon in this totem always makes me smile remembering those happy days.

My Woodpecker Totem captures a very sweet moment between a mother and her babies. I love the idea of a family choosing to nest in one of my sculptures.
 

By a special coincidence, my only experience with seeing a pileated woodpecker in person came while I was making this totem pole. I had been looking at woodpecker images trying to decide what I wanted the woodpecker on the top to look like and I looked up to see that outside my window was an unbelievably large, magnificent woodpecker clinging to the side of a redwood tree. It stayed long enough for me to take some photos and enjoy its company. Then off it went and I haven't seen one since. The artist in me felt like it was a special muse sent at just the right moment.

Hide and Seek is both playful and soothing. It creates a tranquil place to step into and relax. The three charming frogs are there to amuse and delight you, peeking around the totem so no matter which side you see there is always a friendly face there to greet you.

 Animals hold a special place in our hearts and our pets even more so. Top Dog celebrates dogs and cats: their antics, their curiosity and their silly selves. My own special pup, Charlotte, is the model for the top of this totem. She represents all of the little dogs out there that need to be heard since they feel too small to be seen.

This is a sweet little totem - only about 48" tall - perfect for a pop of color in a smaller space.
