This gallery is comprised of sculptures that were
commissioned works, one of a kind pieces or closed
editions. None of these pieces are available, but we
proudly present them for your viewing enjoyment.
The Camel and Saluki piece was originally created as a trophy for the American Saluki
Club Western Specialty.  This is a very large piece, approximately 18" high, the edition
was limited to ten, and all were pre-sold.
The pictured sculpture is from the collection of Wanda Sirianni of Sirianni Acres Saluki's.  
We would like to thank all of the owners of this limited edition sculpture.
This commissioned sculpture
depicts Mary Dee Lindemaier in
native costume and her multi Best
in Show winning brace of cream
Saluki's.
This is the original photo that the
sculpture was created from.

This sculpture has become the "signature" sculpture for Cathexis Studios and artist Sandi
Rolfe.  It is a one of a kind piece, created specifically for the juried competition at the Art
Show at the Dog Show in Wichita Kansas.
It is the "real life" scene of the artists'  Whippets in a typical pose!  Any Whippet owner
knows that Whippets are "pile" dogs, and there was no artistic license used in creating this
piece.
This piece was honored in several print publications, and is very familiar to many for that
reason.   No molds were ever made, and after winning the Best in Show award, the piece
was donated by the Wichita Kennel Club to the Dog Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, where it
can still be seen.
In honor of this piece, a second sculpture was created of six Whippets piling in an
overstuffed chair. You can see a photo of the original sculpture in the Ceramic Whippet
Sculpture section.  That piece will be available in the new Cold Cast Porcelain.  Look for it's
release in the "Newest Additions" section soon!
