The Juvenile is a bronze sculpture inspired by a real encounter near the Gatlinburg Bypass, where my daughter spotted this fine young black bear and captured the photos and videos that became the foundation for the piece. At this in-between stage of life, the bear is no longer a round, cuddly cub, yet not fully grown—resulting in a slightly gangly, awkward posture that gives the sculpture its character and quiet humor. This moment of transition adds personality and authenticity, revealing a bear finding its place in the world. Both playful and observant, the piece celebrates an often-overlooked chapter in the life of one of East Tennessee’s most iconic animals.
