This listing is for one amazing sculpture of a Crow Shaman made in Raku Ceramics. Crow's and Raven's have always been very important in the Mythology and Belief Systems of the Indigenous Cultures. Crows are Messengers and also Tricksters. This is the first for me to make a sculpture standing on two feet. I wanted to really demonstrate that this spirit, is on the verge of transformation, half-human and half-animal. This is also why I wanted his wings to look as though they have hands. A special piece. Raku is an ancient Japanese Ceramic glazing technique closely associated with the Tea Ceremony. For many hundreds of years, the most revered Tea Ceremony teacups were fired in the Raku Tradition, through a long lineage within the Raku family in which the objects are glazed, fired and smoked. The word Raku itself in the Japanese language means, Joy or Effortlessness. This refers to the Maker and his ability to be in the Moment during the time of Creation.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Sitges, Spain, near to Barcelona. I create paintings, ceramic sculptures and fiber art. I started my art career as a street artist as a teenager. I loved the dynamism of graffiti, the rebellion and expression. I filled my portfolio with pictures of my murals, and got myself into Art School, Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver. Art school introduced me to many new ideas. Although I majored in Sculpure, I found myself leaning towards Paintings, and finally I started experimenting with Installation and Public Intervention. I travelled to India and Thailand. This changed things. I wanted to make political art, or do projects which helped people. Later I moved to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where I was introduced to Conceptual Art. I have exhibited in Tokyo, Japan, Toronto and Barcelona. The last few years I have focused on Fiber- Art installations and Raku Ceramic Sculpture. Now after several years hiatus, I am back to making Paintings. I found making abstract paintings very liberating. I love it!
