Description



Joe Avarista burst onto the arts scene with his lifelike sculptures of clothing you would swear you could wear! He has also carved life-size figures, including a statue of Thomas Dorr, leader of Rhode Island's 19th-Century "Dorr Rebellion," for Heritage Harbor Museum.


Cowboy is part of Joe Avarista's Antique Toy Collection, inspired by toys his uncle brought home from Germany after WW II. Our cast hydrostone resin Cowboy is one of a limited edition of ten.


Joe Avarista's works may be seen at the Royal Gallery, on Providence's historic Federal Hill.
