POKEY PARK HORATIO

5.25” x 8” x 5.25” — Bronze $1,600

This bearded dragon Horatio is part of a collection of snakes and lizards that I have created throughout my career. Bearded dragons are on the threatened list due to habitat loss and degradation due to land clearing and cattle grazing.

POKEY PARK • WAOW Signature • AZ • www.pokeypark.com Pokey’s lifelong artistic goal and focus is endangered animals and to bring them to the attention of the public - how the environment affects not only the natural selection of a species, but also how the human use of their territory impacts their survival, because the two are part of the same circle. Studying wildlife in their natural habitats gives her a feel for their personalities, not just their anatomy, giving her sculpture a unique attitude.
