Our lives are full of intimate moments that pass through our eyes, sometimes only as glimpses, and return later in memories. These works represent some of the moments that inspire me, often discreetly, as I move through my day to day life. They highlight my memories, and invite the viewer to pause, look, discover, reflect, and later, remember anew.

“The soul of my subject matter, its vital essence, remains forever my obsession in painting…if that can be captured, then the work comes alive, fraught with its own note, its own music. Without that spark, that living radiance, the painting remains a dead thing.” – John Koenig

Growing up making baskets with his family, Richard Silliboy returned to it when he realized basket making was a dying art among his people. He now creates baskets from brown ash wood using traditional Mi’kmaq basketry techniques with no adhesive or hardware. Enjoying the spiritual aspect of handling wood, the serenity as well as frustration within the process, it became a tool for reconnecting with his culture.
