“Raven and the Sky” is a realistic acrylic painting of a Raven perched on the top of a cedar branch lost in thought. The sky in this artwork is made of splashes and pools of paint suggesting a literal cerebral air surrounding this intelligent bird.

As a BC wildlife artist I am especially drawn to intelligent animals like ravens that have a rich history with BC First Nations. In the legend of Camossung from The Songhees Nation, on whose traditional land I live, Raven is present when the transformer lets the girl Camosun pick herring, duck, oysters and coho for local food.
