Kerri Pajutee’s miniature animal sculptures are a marvel of craftsmanship and realism. Based in Oregon, United States, Pajutee creates hyperrealistic 1:12 scale miniatures that are internationally recognized and sought after by dollhouse enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Her meticulous process involves sketching a scale template, using real-life reference photos, and constructing an armature for support when necessary. The result is a collection of collectible, museum-quality animals ranging from domestic pets to wild creatures, each sculpted from polymer clay and adorned with soft natural fibers for an uncanny lifelike appearance.
As a self-taught artist, I revel in the creative process. Sculpting has afforded me a means of expression and provided over four decades of never-ending trial and fascination. My art is motivated by a desire to capture and express that ‘spark’ of personality within each miniature replica, while reflecting a personal encounter or endearing memory that will delight the heart and bring a smile to the face of the observer.
