Whistle Pig Over Ice

I like to hike and one of my favorite places to get out and enjoy nature is in Colorado.  There are so many great trails on which to meander but the one to the Ice Lakes is truly spectacular.  High above tree line the water is so blue it looks like a giant bottle of Scope has spilled.  Columbine and Indian Paintbrush color the landscape, while marmots (known as whistle pigs in the Rockies) whistle back and forth to one another.  Occasionally the call of big horn sheep can be heard echoing off the cliffs. This sculpture was created in reverence to some great memories made there.

Feeling pretty satisfied with the results, I took myself out for a late dinner. While sitting at the bar, a couple of fellows were remarking about the great taste of whistle pig.  My first thought was, ewww!  It turns out they were talking about a pretty tasty bourbon by the name of Whistle Pig.  After a good laugh, we decided this piece should be dubbed Whistle Pig Over Ice

Making the world a brighter place one smile at a time!

What can I create for you?

dhSeadragon

  My years at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ provided me with a wealth of opportunity to expand my background in art.  I was no longer confined to a small studio and therefore could make my projects mammoth if I chose to do so.  I was able to try my hand at set design, wood working, lights, etc…but I found that working with metal gave me the most satisfaction.
While in college, we were assigned the task of creating a nom de plume. dh is the first letter of my first and last name. Seadragon is a nickname dubbed to me by my father.
After graduating with my degree in fine art, the name stayed with me. Today, most of my art is signed dhSeadragon.
