'The Tooth Fairy' Commission

The Tooth Fairy, 2015 
Commissioned by Manhattan Pediatric Dental Group. 

The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood. The folklore states that when children lose one of their baby teeth, they should place it underneath their pillow and the tooth fairy will visit while they sleep, replacing the lost tooth with a small payment.

The Master and Margarita - New Commission

Recently, I was commissioned to create a sculpture from the classic Russian novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, 'The Master and Margarita'.
A fluid and magical read, this novel is a satire about the Soviet Union at the peak of its oppression in the 1930’s.
It was commissioned by a young man from Holland for his fiancée, as a token of his love. 
The Master and Margarita is her favourite novel.
