"We have a herd of about 27 mule deer which frequently “hang out” around my studio, where I can observe them while I work. Sometimes, they look in on me… and I have the nose prints on my windows as evidence! I love to watch them as they go about their normal behaviors, and one of my favorite activities to observe is their grooming. I simply had to sculpt one of our does engaged in this activity," D.D.
