"This box depicts a butterfly with larvae on the lid. I have a passion for traditional Nuxalk and Heiltsuk style art. I believe that these art styles are gifts and that our art styles separate us from the rest of the world. I also regard these gifts as my responsibilities as an artist, therefore I devote myself with seriousness and perseverance, to be a student of the art and a teacher. I owe much recognition to my father, grandfather and late great grandfather for working to recover the traditional Nuxalk style. Their dedication has greatly influenced my ethics and admiration for them and their work."
