Take Flight 2026 Auction

Medium - 30 inch butterfly. 

For dog lovers. Inspired by the unconditional love and loyalty from our canine family members. It was important when placing the design elements on the aluminum butterfly sculpture to purposely have it retain the essence of a butterfly. The vivid paw prints are intended to resemble butterfly eyespots. On the opposite side, the colorful whimsical dog faces follow the veins in the butterfly’s wings. And the two tails, yes, they have “lickers”. A few small paw print “spots” finish off the edges for a cohesive composition. Ultimately, Cheri wanted to create something fun and colorful to make viewers smile and laugh.
