For the event, Paroyan created a Scarlet Macaw, which was the signature art piece of the show and his greatest accomplishment to date. Taking over two years to complete, the sculpture entailed a host of artistic skills and knowledge. “I am inspired by the essence of nature’s wildfowl. My ultimate goal is to capture the unique character of each species in my art.”
