Beau sent me another update photo of the #DugoutCanoe that some students at Wellington high school in #Nanaimo are working on. It's almost all finished. Lots of sanding done & just a bit more to do.

He is off work from public schools this Summer & is open for #CoastSalish #ArtCommissions & cultural & native art workshop contracts.

High-angle, medium shot of a light-colored, sculpted wooden fish placed diagonally across a gray concrete surface. The fish is carved with stylized red crescent shapes along its top edge, some filled with black. It rests on wood scraps amid wood shavings, with a dark, circular storm drain and cover positioned on the right side of the frame. The composition emphasizes texture contrast between the wood grain. The wood carvings contrast against the concrete. The sculpture is partially in shadow with good lighting on the overall form.

Victoria gallery showcases Tseshaht artist George Clutesi
''Clutesi, who rose to national and international recognition through his art and writing, including his participation in Expo 67, remains a towering figure in the history of Indigenous cultural expression in Canada. Yet his most profound legacy, Walsh says, may lie in the personal connections and inspiration he sparked in others.''

“The One Who Brings Light from the Shadows”

— A Raven Legend

They say the Raven was not born in light.
It was born in darkness, where secrets, pain, and truth are hidden.
But instead of fleeing, it learned to listen —
to hear what light could never touch.

In the stories of the Native people, the Raven is a carrier of ancient knowledge, not from books, but from what others overlook:
the wind blowing the wrong way, the footsteps of a lost soul,
and dreams never spoken aloud.

Its feathers — though black — shimmer with the colors of dusk, fire, and earth. Because Raven is not a harbinger of death, as many believe,
but rather the guardian of rebirth.

The elders call it Takuah —
“The One Who Finds Light in the Dark.”
If you see a Raven, don’t chase it away.
It may carry a message — not from this world,
but from the place your soul once belonged.

Some of the coolest beads I work with are these silk satin beads--they're super shimmery and catch the light beautifully because of the micro bubbles in the glass. For this project I used them to bead around resin centers, and finished the edges with round seed beads using a blanket stitch.

Second batch of murals spotted on Clarion St. and downtown Mission SF.

2/3

Mural of a group crowd of people of all colors, genders, classes, and ages. At the top of the mural several art supplies such as a can of spray paint labelled community power, a pencil labelled self determination, a tube of paint labelled Dignity, a paint brush labelled resilience, and a marker labelled Mutual Respect shower color onto the crowd and city below. A large banner is held proclaiming in rainbow colors "We all deserve a healthy and safe community" A tag line reads Art by the Artists of the Community Arts Program.

A mural of a tree with the faces of an old man and woman grown into the bark of the trunk. The tree is surrounded by a white fence with several male faces inside a cage on the left side. Outside the fence on the left is a run down, grey toned tank with a helmed soldier holding a broken flag. On the right, outside the fence is a group of vibrant colored youths pointed at the tree and captives within while holding flowers, video cameras, and a guitar of sorts

Mural with a dark-haired, dark-skinned woman on the left holding a pool of water in her cupped hands that runs through her fingers. The water runs into a larger pool colored dark blue. Flowers and light blue sky frame the rest of the painting along with 13 portraits of various women. A red banner above reads "Our Matriarchs" The women pictured are named, beginning from the top left in order are: Corrina Gould, Dr. Concha Saucedo, Janine Laiwa, Mary Travis-Allen, Dr. Lanada War Jack, Alberta Snyder, Dr. L Frank, Bird Kamana Levy, Kim Shuck, Mary Jean Robertson, Debbie Santiago, Ruth Villasenor, and Carolyn Melenani Kuali'i.

I was asked to customize my hummingbird inspired dangles to make them extra long. They almost didn't fit in this box but I love how they turned out. If you'd like to get your earrings longer or with specific colors, please reach out to me, I will do my best to make something you love!

Medium shot of a carved, unfinished wooden dugout cedar canoe. The canoe is the primary focus, positioned horizontally in the foreground and running the length of the picture. The ground is splattered with wood shavings. The background includes a picnic table on the left with a log laid across it, plants, and a modern building with reflective windows. The lighting is overcast, with cool tones dominating the scene. The composition emphasizes the craftsmanship of the canoe against the backdrop of a contemporary school environment.
