Coyote Five Legs

  Pete Zaluzec holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago and is a licensed falconer.  Since 1986, his work has been dominated by birds. He has been awarded “Best in World” for an unprecedented three consecutive

years in decorative miniature wood carving from the Ward Museum of Wildfowls Art, as well as numerous other award venues. His work has evolved to other methods such as bronze sculpture and using gampi paper for digitally printing photographs of animals. 

Coyote Five Legs displays Zaluzec’s intense observation of his subject.  Through the process of photography, he captures the coyote and then manipulates the image by removing all extraneous background and adjusting the light and dark tones of the picture.  Five legs refer to the coyote’s four feet planted on the ground and his bushy tail that balances, so delicately, the weight of his body.
