Renard Kit Fox
Artist Statement:
Renard is one of 36 animal sculptures created for a children’s hospital in California. About the size of a small cat, kit foxes have a natural air of whimsy. They are always little and cute. My lifelong artistic goal and focus is endangered animals and bringing them to the attention of the public. The California kit fox is an endangered species.
About Pokey Park
My love for nature and respect for its different moods began in Coastal Georgia where I was born. Feeling the need to capture it in another form, my creative journey began. My style reflects my belief that life needs to be celebrated with whimsy and attitude. I use the flow of lines to create positive and negative spaces in my sculpture. This creates movement and balance between the parts. I create with the hope that my work will bring a smile to the viewer- happiness is a very strong positive force. I believe that sculpture in general reaches out to people on an emotional level. It addresses two of our senses without even trying- sight and the sense of touch.
