THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is the first in the childrens series. The sculpture captures the innocent love of a child for its pet. A theme of universal appeal, this piece demonstrates the natural bonding so crucial to human development and intrinsic to the nature of Man. A self contained piece, the AGE OF INNOCENCE is sculpted in the full round, eliminating the need for a base. While photographing this little girl, her six week old puppy wandered into the room and she instinctively reached down to hug her.
