4) Eagle Eye
Centuries ago, we knew about living in harmony with nature. Today we can
learn much from the eagle, who knows no boundaries or borders, who sees one landscape and all that unites us.Western Red Cedar. Moriyuki Kono, Abbotsford, BC. $22,000.

5) Crush
Art conveys my nonverbal view of life. It is an ongoing exploration of myself, my behavior, be it aggression, adventure, exploration, love and affection or my non-acceptance of convention and the status quo.
I am continually in search of the new, the different, and am fascinated with the unconventional. Life has a hard aggressive side, as does much of my work, represented by rigid angular lines. However, the soft side is also apparent, visible as curves and soft forms. Bronze. Mark Yale Harris, Santa Fe, NW. $9,500.

6) Sam the Moose
Sam the moose was created at the base of Mount Rainier using mother nature's discarded trees from the Nisqually drainage system. I normally create using man made discarded rusty metal items but the driftwood brings a greater appreciation for creating art out of recycled materials. I find great pleasure when scouring the shores of Alder Lake, picking up wonderful shapes of driftwood.
When I walk the shores, I collect the shapes of driftwood that jump out at me. The piece that represents the head of Sam is what inspired this sculpture. I hope that Sam brings the viewer as much joy as I received creating him. Driftwood. Daniel Klennert, Elbe, WA. $8,000.

As an adult, sculpting transports me to that same childlike peace and tranquility.Recycled Steel, Aluminum & Brass.Thor Myhre, Bellingham, WA. $8,000.

Born to fisher parents, tethered and neck cringed. Thru my master, I learned the way. Knowledge of love and kindness was given to me. Co-creating in harmony, weaves the circle of life.

12) Humpback Whale Tail
After seeing a Greenpeace calendar, I became inspired to create whale tails. Melville says: "...in no living thing are the lines of beauty more exquisitely defined than in the crescenic borders of theses flukes.”
I am pleased to raise awareness for these magnificent creatures by using reclaimed wood diverted from a landfill. Reclaimed Mahogany. Thomas Givens, Charlottesville, VA. $18,000.

15) My Foolish Heart
