Here is a statement about the 100 miniatures collection:

"Artist William Hessian has become known for creating artworks on a miniature scale. Over 100 of his miniatures have been hidden and collected in free public art hunts across the United States. This exhibition, 100 miniature animals, is the first time the miniatures are being sold to the public. William has chosen to explore 100 creature from the animal kingdom on an amazingly small scale; one inch by once and a half inches small.
William Hessian has performed four miniature buffalo hunts in Jamestown, North Dakota; as well as art hunts in California, Portland, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City. Hessian's mixed media miniatures are known for there bright colors, saturated palette and minute details. "Working in miniature gives me a challenge to effectively portray each animal with great detail and vigor; I never use it as an excuse to skimp or cut corners," William says. The 100 miniatures juxtapoz the daunting size of most artwork, and invites you to get close, and challenge your own sense of scale."
