Rafael Pineda is a sculptor whose energetic sense of whimsy and engaging sense of character permeate his work. His subjects are as open-ended as his curiosity, and his ability to capture a client’s description is awesome. The giraffes, named Bobby and Meryl, are over 3 feet tall, and gaze longingly at each other when sitting side by side. The dogs are all collaborations between our storyline and his ability to visualize those dogs. Erma the cat definitely has had enough of “whatever”, and Moodonna is ready to rock and roll. These are the first in what we hope will be an incredible collection of new friends in your life.

These handmade animals are formed from a ceramic clay pottery liga that is native to the Guadalajara area.  They are wood-fired.
