"As an interior designer, I'm always on the hunt for unique pieces that breathe life into spaces. Artterra's curated collection never disappoints. Each piece is a conversation starter, and their commitment to originality is unmatched. A designer's dream destination." — Amelia L.

Moon Sculpture featuring the Orca brim design. 

The red cedar is old growth cedar reclaimed from a burn pile in a logging sale. After acquiring permission to harvest carving wood from traditional territory this partially burned cedar log was found buried under brush and wood. This cedar was a giant, long and straight, and would have been a beautiful totem pole were it not in a burn pile. Another artist and I salvaged what we could of this majestic cedar, creating art pieces of beautiful old growth cedar. The female figure represents the mystical powers the matriarchs grow into, connecting to the ancestors and becoming the knowledge keepers for the clan. The killerwale (Orca) is one of my family crests.
