Willamette Valley artist, Matt Hawk was inspired by the Wendy Trilogy songs by musician, S.J.Tucker. The trio of lyrics is focused on girls being strong and becoming pirates. They become leaders of the Faerie Fleets of Titania and Oberon. As parents of two girls, Matt and his wife believe it is important to give their daughters great, strong female role models. And Green-Eyed Sue in the songs is just that! Ergo, Hawk found it quite fitting to model his Sea Lion after her![from danceswithsealions.com]
