Island Driftworks

Transplanted here young, Quadra has been “home” since childhood. Growing up amid artists and this bold Nature encouraged and bolstered creative drives and desires. Inspired and experienced in travels, and time away, Quadra once again became home. I get to work, play, garden and create; with two new next generation islanders by my side.  Nature does a wonderful job providing the materials we are fortunate to receive and create with. Craftsmanship, and by extension artistry, is our chance to honour the materials gifted so we can chance to express ourselves. There are many treasures and aesthetic pleasures to be found amid the rich chaos in the high tide line.
