"This sculpture resides in the plaza in front of the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa
in San Luis Obispo, California. It was installed in September, 1988.
The sculpture honors the two major life forms that lived in the area, before European
contact. Funds for the sculpture were provided by the Stanley P. Von Stein memorial trust,
and the Mary Jane Duval memorial trust"

"I have a many fond memories of small coincidences that
took place during the project. Perhaps the best one was that evening,
after the installation ceremony, on a beautiful clear blue day, after a long hot, dry summer,
after a two year drought, it rained, a big heavy wonderful rain."

Paula is now working on two bear cubs that will be added to the fountain.
If you check the newsletter, you can find some background information about the new project.
Here is the link to see some photos that show the work on the cubs, as it progresses.
