WELCOME
Well, here you are! A little bit about us: We've both been working our fingers to the bone (believe it!) in our small studio here in the woods, creating hand-carved, limited edition Ojibway inspired sculptural pieces aptly called LITTLE MANITOUS. We have sold our work through many fine galleries across the country, including Disney World and many National Parks. Each piece is one of an edition of 100, and is numbered, dated, and signed by the artists (me and Shawn). For those of you unfamiliar with the term "Manitou", it is the Ojibway (or Chippewa) word for "Spirit". As the Great Spirit manifests itself in myriad forms, each unique manifestation, including plant, animal and mineral, is endowed with and inseparable from this Spirit. Also, MANITOU can be interpreted as meaning "MAGIC", in the sense that some people, places, objects, etc. seem to possess a greater concentration of this spirit (or creative energy) than others, such as a sacred ritual object or a favorite seashell. A Manitou may also be an actual spirit entity (inorganic beings?) whom on occasion will take on a physical form in order to teach us foolish humans a lesson. Thus, "Little Spirits" and the inspiration for our pieces. If you would like to know more about us, go to our About Us page! For more on Totems and the nature of animals, go to the Lore page.
