The location where this painting was inspired from; is where River Rafters exit the Chilliwack River on O'Byrne road.

The translation in Halq’eméylem is "Ts'elxwéyeqw Stó:lō leq'à:leqel'. I'm grateful for the Sto:lo people of the Ts'elxwéyeqw tribes who protect this river for all to enjoy.

One of the many artistic benefits of working with young creative kids with Red Fox Healthy Living Society. Having worked with Red Fox and their active play for children and youth development programs for nearly 10 years has been a gift. Consider having your young one participate in Red Fox's free after school and community based programs. If you believe in supporting children and developing future leaders, consider supporting Red Fox with a donation. Children build confidence and social skills, while the junior leaders gain experience and develop skills to become responsible young adults.
