I had the privilege of collaborating again with Dana Younger, who cast my digital sculpture into bronze for this year's Unbridled Eve silent auction, a prestigious charity event held the night before the Kentucky Derby.
For the 2023 Working Molossers United IGP National Championship and Campionato, I sculpted the Cane Corso bust trophy inspired by Paul Manship's "Group of Bears" sculpture. Special thanks to PrintAWorld Fabrication Lab for 3D printing and painting the busts, creating the bases for the trophies, and to Rachel Nhan for introducing me to their services!
In honor of Secretariat's 50th anniversary of winning the Triple Crown, I digitally sculpted Big Red, and the talented Dana Younger brought him to life in mahogany and brass. I donated the sculpture to Unbridled Eve's silent auction, a charity event the night before the Kentucky Derby.

I participate in a dog sport called IGP, which includes tracking, obedience, and protection. As I embarked on this new journey of creating trophies for the sport, as I did for the Cane Corso Nationals last year, I decided to develop trophies more specific to the sport, showcasing aspects from all three phases.
In the obedience phase, the dog has a series of dumbbell retrieves: the flat, hurdle, and scaling wall (A-frame). I am modeling the field equipment and, eventually, the dogs retrieving the dumbbells over the jumps for future trophies.
