Her uncle was Miguel Haloo (d) who started carving in the late 1970's and originated the standing bear style associated with her family. Claudine is an experienced potter and jeweler. She was taught fetish carving by her sister Claudia Peina and late brother Colvin Peina (d). We're delighted with Claudine's cherubic
