Each day where I live in Sedona, Arizona, I see ravens flying among the red rock mountains perching in trees, drinking from fountains and waiting atop lamp posts for humans to leave behind scraps of food. They are omnivorous scavengers with a very diverse diet.

I’ve been inspired to do a sculpture of a raven for many years as I am so impressed by their intelligence, size mischievousness and survivals skills. This sculpture of a Common Raven (the largest of the Corvid family) was realized when I envisioned a hungry raven in a pumpkin field eying a grasshopper.
