Baby Sloth

Linda Kukuk (Choctaw)
Original Scratchwork with Watercolor
Baby Sloth
Framed • 9 x 6.5 x 1 in

Warm, tender, and full of charm, this original scratchboard artwork by Linda Kukuk captures a young sloth at rest with incredible depth and texture. Kukuk’s signature technique starts with carving thousands of fine lines into a black scratchboard to reveal the form, fur, and gentle expression. Subtle watercolor washes are then added to bring soft color to the sloth’s coat and the branch it clings to.

Every strand of fur is created by hand, giving the piece a lifelike sense of movement and touch. The sloth’s playful pose and expressive eyes draw you in, making this artwork a favorite for both animal lovers and collectors of detailed, handcrafted work.

Beautifully framed and ready to display, Baby Sloth is a one-of-a-kind piece that showcases Kukuk’s mastery of precision and her talent for bringing wildlife to life with remarkable care.
