Free standing sculptures

Majestic, snowcapped mountains frame riders on horseback as they glide over the Revelstoke Flats, and rekindle memories of a mother and her daughter. Sable brushes, shared by friends, dance in oil and watercolour, recording the highlights and shadows of Temagami. Water lillies of Ket-chun-eny float on fluid mirrors, calling all island dwellers to the water’s edge. Floral brilliance and artistic expression surround a young family united by love. Like five violet islands, we move in unison, yet seek our own paths of discovery and creativity. You have listened to, and honoured, many heartfelt wishes with strength and determination. You have fulfilled a mother’s dream.

Another day draws to a close, as violet hues settle on rocky shores like dusk’s final shroud.  Reflect on the joys and accomplishments of the day gone by, and give thanks for those yet to come. Breathe in the calm, and release any burdens into the soothing arms of Amethyst breezes.

Dusk descends on distant silhouettes, as silence lowers a veil of violet on all who dwell here.

A trip to the Columbia Icefields, in the summer of 1967, resulted in this stone becoming an important keepsake for our family of seven. Dad insisted on bringing it back home, as a reminder of an eventful trip, just in case we never returned there together in the future. He was a husband and a father with a great sense of humour, and oh how he loved to take as much time as needed to explain his point in every detail. The many dialects he used entertained us for hours, his attention to detail amused us, and we always knew we were loved. This was Andy’s way.
