This detail can be truly appreciated when viewing within 1 foot. Peter Cua's miniatures are classed as miniature taxidermy due to their lifelike stance and fur coats. After attending art school in the US, Peter evolved into an experienced miniaturist. Similar to Louis Paul Jonas in the use of clay then resins as a medium, expanded upon by the use of fur combining the media creating this phenomenon. These miniatures have no visible seams or stitches, truly setting them apart. "He begins with a resin animal form, which he then re-sculpts and re-makes into a more active pose,"* then completes with real furhides. His miniatures are in a unique class, which have won several awards at the World Taxidermy Competition held in Springfield, IL.
