• We will be selling raffle tickets beginning in February 2013 and ending September 1, 2013. Two sets of the miniature version of the Fishermen's Family Sculpture, aka "maquettes", will be raffled, leaving one set available for purchase (see below!). The size of the maquettes are as follows:

  Mother: Base to hand 9". Base is 3.5" long x 3" wide
  Girl connected to mother: Base to head 4". Base is 3" long x 1.5" wide
  Boy: Base to head 4.5" high. Base is 5.5" long x 2.25" wide x 2" high

  With the community's support and the opportunity to own a beautiful piece of art cast in bronze and created and signed by world renowned artist Elizabeth MacQueen, we are hopeful that this will be a very successful fundraiser. Contact Susan Maharry via or at 805-801-8480 to purchase tickets.
