Resin Sculptures

In Fayetteville, Shelley and Michael Buonaiuto have a larger studio and continue work in clay, bronze and resin. The new large bronzes "Alternative Energies" were commissioned for a park in Loveland, CO and "Wind" from that series won Best of Show at The Rivermarket Show in Little Rock in 2007 and was bought to be displayed in an apartment building in Little Rock. Shelley spends several months a year producing new one-of-a-kind clay pieces and also takes commissions for portraits. Michael and Shelley hope to add to both the Friends series and the Street Party series of resins in the next year.

Robert and Rosie NEW! Street Party! Limited Edition by A Little Company Resin Sculpture Buonaiuto based Robert on a young Iraq vet I met, who was travelling around and talking about his experience in the war, where he lost a hand, on his day off, while trying to throw a grenade out of the back of a truck. He spoke about his loss with courage and grace. I gave Robert a beautiful girlfriend, who is sealing off his past with love (with her hand over his lost hand) and opening his future (with her hand opening his right fingers). I hope to acknowledge with this sculpture the sacrifices made by our service people, whether we are for or against the war. 1% of the cost of this sculpture will go to a veteran's group of your choice.

Wendy and Ophelia Street Party! Limited Edition by A Little Company Resin Sculpture Wendy is a friend of Buonaiuto and a terrific photographer, who gave her a photo of herself with her young friend, Ophelia, a Pueblo Indian with Down's Syndrome. Wendy says Ophelia will like this sculpture of the two of them. 1% of the cost of this sculpture will go to the Special Olympics.
