Bears

From the curious cub to the towering grizzly, bears embody both strength and gentleness. Paul’s bear sculptures often reflect this duality—powerful forms with moments of calm or playful energy. Shaped by years of west coast encounters, these pieces celebrate the wild, grounded presence of one of nature’s icons.
