When commissioned by a local resident to create a sculpture honoring the memory of his late mother, Ruth, only one specification was given — make it colorful and whimsical like her. Nestled in a field of wildflowers, Tootsie is filled with imagination and vibrancy, capturing Ruth’s one-of-a-kind, creative spirit.
