  • When we arrived to visit Maestro Valdez it was to buy some of his ceramic art. He was renowned for using a very ancient method of working. After choosing the pieces I asked for permission to make some photos of him working - he graciously agreed. After I got my gear out of the car he proceeded to open up his studio and home to me, introducing me to his immediate family. I remember the face of a man who'd worked hard throughout a tough life yet remained humble before his earthen materials, devoted to his craft and his family.

  • Chappy traveled from his home in  Lake Cowal, Australia to Toronto where he confronted Peter Munk, CEO, Barrick Mines, about the impact of Barrick's mine on his community. Munk and his entourage dismissed him with smirks and jokes.<br />
Indigenous owners and environmental activists have run a 14-year campaign to close the gold mine. They argue it poses large health risks to the local community, is an immense drain on scarce freshwater resources and poisons the environment with cyanide and other toxic wastes.

  • Roberto Griot is a masterful painter who is renowned for his powerful Afro-Brazilian subject matter and unique style. <br />
During our session he spoke about creativity and the meaning of his work, which he hoped 'would cause a revolution based on love.' Meanwhile his two sons played in the different rooms of the second story studio. When we were finished he called in his two sons, put his arms around them and said '"these two are my favorite creations." <br />
<br />
Sadly he passed away July 1, 2015. His studio and gallery are in the Pelourinho District of Salvador da Bahia, Brasil.
