Paper Mache from Vancouver

Animals have always inspired me, and my work explores the mysterious connection we share with them.

My work begins with an armature of wire, often on a framed wood panel. Newspaper and paper pulp are my basic materials for building the form with other papers sometimes added to the surface. Most pieces are finished with acrylic paints and varnish.

Supporting B.C. Artisans

Before
After

Circle Craft is more than a gallery or a shop. We're a co-operative, owned and run by the artists who make up our membership. That means when you buy from Circle Craft, your purchase goes directly back to the maker behind the work. No middlemen. No corporate margin. Just a community of over 140 B.C. artists building something together, and a place where craft, creativity, and livelihood are all the same thing.

Made in Canada

Circle Craft is rooted in B.C., where 140 artists across the province draw inspiration from some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. From the rugged coastline to old-growth forests to the high desert of the interior, our makers are shaped by the place they call home. That connection to this land isn't just inspiration. It shows up in every piece, every medium, and every collection we carry.
