Last night we went to an opening at the Bernice Steinbaum gallery.  This gallery was one of the first galleries to open in the Design District/Wynwood area- in fact, I went there 6 years ago when it was really scary in that neighborhood! 

Anyhow, we were wandering around and ended up on the second floor, where I found this amazing sculpture!  I happen to think taxidermy is pretty amazing... I don't find it creepy, in fact, I think it's fascinating!  So imagine how psyched I was to find this little guy:

There was a sign that read:
"Please feel free to interact gently with the rabbit"

....so, of course, I did!

Then, I did a little research on the artist.  Wow!  She is amazing, and also an Assistant Professor of Sculptor at University of Miami!

Here is another example of the artist's work:

HORSE

And another amazing work, Deathbed
