You can view the #Ravensong war #canoe & symbolic #paddle #PublicArt at #NIWRA. It's beside the big turtle pond.
https://www.niwra.org/Bill Helin is of #Tsimshian / #Norwegian decent and is a member of the Tsimshian Nation, born and raised in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC. His father was Arthur Helin, his Grandfather Henry William Helin, was Chief of the Gitlan Tribe, and his Grandmother Maud Helin, was Chief of the Gitgeese Tribe. Bill spent many hours listening to his grandmother in wonder, as she told him many Legends of the Tsimshian People. By the time he was three, he was already drawing and it wasn't long before he was amusing his family, friends and teachers with caricatures and cartoons. For the most part Bill is a self-taught artist. He learned from books, and was soon mastering techniques such as three-dimensional forming, called repousse. In the 1980’s Bill was sponsored to go to K'San, BC's famous #IndianArt and Carving School in Hazelton. In February 1988, Bill attended the renowned Gemology Institute of America in Santa Monica, California, completing advanced courses in gold smithing and gem setting. Today he lives and works from his studio/home on Vancouver Island.
Bill spent most of his career, which started in 1979, carving traditional Tsimshian wood carving, jewelry and paintings. His art has evolved from creating large wood projects such as a 40 foot long Ravensong Canoe in 1993 and working on the world’s tallest totem pole with Richard Krentz in 1994, to illustrating children’s story books and working on many animation projects. Other projects include working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to design three mission patches as well as some education materials.

Falling for It (10 Photos)
A flat wall is just a flat wall, until an artist decides to play a trick on your eyes. Suddenly, a solid brick corner turns into a massive tiger ready to pounce. A plain pavement opens up into a glowing pit. Across cities from Patras to Mons, creators are bending perspective and turning everyday architecture into giant optical illusions. You walk past what you think is a normal building, only to realize a T-Rex is crashing through the plaster. These aren't just paintings. They are […]https://streetartutopia.com/2026/02/26/falling-for-it-clone/

1,000 Melting Ice Sculptures in Berlin: A Haunting Warning About Climate Change
In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created a powerful art display to talk about climate change. She placed 1,000 small ice sculptures on the steps of the square, each shaped like a person. As the day got warmer and the sun shone brighter, the sculptures began to melt. This showed how global warming is affecting our planet. The event, organized with WWF Germany, focused on how the Arctic’s ice is melting faster than ever because of rising temperatures.

What Happens When a Plate Shatters and Its Artistic Pieces Go Free?
FRAGMENTED: Turning Broken Plates Into Art
Rob Strati’s “Fragmented” series shows how something broken can become something beautiful. It all started with a plate that belonged to his wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day, the plate fell and shattered into pieces. Instead of throwing it away, Strati saw an opportunity to create art.
Follow Rob Strati på Instagram!
Rob explains it best:
“This work was inspired by a plate from my wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day it was dropped and shattered. Some time after, I picked up a pen and started working on the ‘Fragmented’ series, exploring the possibilities of things broken and the stories that can evolve from them.”
Using the shapes of the broken plate, Strati created intricate pen drawings. Each piece became part of a new story, showing how beauty can grow from something unexpected.

Finding Beauty in Broken Things
Strati’s work reminds us that imperfections can be powerful. His art is similar to kintsugi, a Japanese tradition of fixing broken pottery with gold to celebrate its cracks. Instead of hiding the damage, Strati’s series lets the broken pieces inspire something fresh and creative.
