  I totally agree, Tofino man. I love your photography and if I can’t get over to your side of the island as often as I would wish, at least I get to see glimpses of it on your blog. 🙂

I love your style- mixed mediums and repurposing ordinary objects with such mastery! I almost named my youngest Raven so I am especially fond of these pieces.

  Thank you. I love working with ephemera. i feel that I am a bit of a raven and use them alot. My raven assemblage box called the collector is autobiographical.😋

    This is my text. I am glad you like it. I sometimes come up with text during the creating process but often it is after the piece is done, as in this case. Sometimes I quote songs or books. I always give credit when I do that. 🙂
