Whale Art Pins and Buttons

Description: I created this piece in response to the news that someone I knew from my younger years on Vancouver island was battling terminal cancer. I contacted his family to ask what his spirit animal might be and was told that he repeatedly loved to draw humpbacks. This made the image of the humpback being an island come to mind immediately, like he represented the stability and structure of their family. I researched homes on stilts at that point and found many great images of homes that were colorful and barn like to the east coast of Canada. I felt like the home he would choose to be would be one of color and uniqueness and the perfect place for an artist.
