The four figures of males and females represent the family in the four directions of the world. The drum is the instrument of the healer and is the heartbeat of life.

The first lesson I learned was that I could not close the doors and hang a sign saying, \"Gone Fishing\", whenever the conditions were right. I worked hard and took the advice of the Pettinger family, owners of Pacific Sands Resort, as well as Mary and Dillis, owners of The Mini Motel. Many others in Tofino supported me and coached me along and I am thankful for their support as long as I live.

The village numbered about five hundred people and our lives revolved around the sea. Fishing, hunting, and harvesting from the land was a way of life. The lifestyle would be something close to what we call survival today. For the children, there was a wonderful playground called the beach. It was full of awe and mystery. Our time reminder was the ebb and flow of running tide. Our music was the cry of Eagle, Raven and gulls; the song of the Whale, and howl of the wolf. I cannot recall the word “boring”. After a half-century of living in British Columbia, it is no surprise that I often can be found in the village of Tofino on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I love to play with my children on the beach, watching a sunset, looking for passing whales at sea, or building castles in the sand. I do believe I will always return to the joy of the sea near some Ocean Village.

Blue whales have no teeth and have only their sheer size to defend themselves. But orcas are not a blue whale's greatest threat. It was reported that in 2000, there were fewer than 10,000 left in our oceans due to the whaling industry. I've read different reports on the numbers of whales killed by the early part of the 20th century, all of those numbers being very well into the thousands! A worldwide ban on harvesting blue whales did not come into effect until 1966, and this animal still remains on the endangered species list.

During my years in Tofino, so many good things happened. I became a passionate steelhead fisherman, I built Eagle Aerie Gallery, and my career took a turn for the better and has remained on a continuous upward curve. I could see myself as a contemporary artist and create images inspired by the rain, wind, and sun. It has been a great satisfaction to be inspired by my relationship with nature. Some of the most powerful images to come during my Tofino years have been those of the whales. The gray whale, the orca, and the humpback have always been exciting to see and have always thrilled me. I’ve had whales come so close to my boat that they touched it. I’ve fallen asleep to whales’ loud breathing nearby, and I’ve been thrilled by the sound of the whales’ songs surrounding me during scuba dives. I’ve enjoyed the faces of those who have seen whales for the first time. I’ve been overwhelmed with sadness at the sight of a dead beached whale on Whaler Island near Tofino. One of the most exciting happenings in the waters around Tofino has been the return of the humpback. In the early 1980s, one would have to take a long trip offshore to catch a glimpse of a humpback whale. When one of my staff showed me a picture she had taken of a sunset through the beach grass on Whaler Island, I was inspired to create this image of a humpback whale spyhopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThank you, Adrienne for inspiring WHALER.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roy Henry Vickers Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40275154665521,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/9996\/4204\/files\/4e7ff246-70ba-4af2-adfd-19fd39f188ed.jpg?v=1775945733"},{"product_id":"commitment-artist-proof-4-of-7","title":"COMMITMENT - ARTIST PROOF #4\/7","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Date: 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eArtist: \u003c\/span\u003e Roy Henry Vickers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eMedium: \u003c\/span\u003e Serigraph\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eImage Size: 18 7\/8\" X 11 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Size:  7 Artist Proofs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinding someone who can be your friend, lover, and companion through life is a blessing.

As I look upon the road of life, it's a blessing to see those who have found the peace of commitment to unconditional love, and it's my wish that we all find this blessing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roy Henry Vickers Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40367729836081,"sku":null,"price":3300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/9996\/4204\/files\/B180541C-1355-4B89-905C-24296AC38B63_1_105_c.jpg?v=1715380324"},{"product_id":"mother-earth-remarque-8-8","title":"MOTHER EARTH - Remarque #8\/8","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Date:\u003cspan\u003e 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eArtist:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRoy Henry Vickers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/span\u003e Serigraph\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eImage Size: 27\" x 17\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Size: 8 Remarques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe are children of the earth, and we call her Mother, as she provides for us in many ways, the water we drink, the food we eat, clean air to breathe, and medicine for our healing journey.

I asked the local man who made it if he surfed, and he told me he did so in his younger days. He didn't seem that old to me not to surf. Well, here I am at sixty-two, and I enjoy watching the surfers. I remember the last time I surfed, which was more than a couple of years ago.

I went to my home village of Kitkatla that summer and was fishing for crabs with an elder when we came across this very large octopus. We managed to catch it and bring it on board. Chester, the elder told me that young men used to prove their bravery by reaching up inside the octopus' arms to grab its beak and pull it out while it was still alive thus ending its life and showing great courage.

I support the Dogwood Initiative so one can see that my heart is with the land and sea, and I will fight to protect what we have left. When Mark Hobson called me and asked for my involvement with this group, I did not hesitate. I traveled with my son, William, to Hartley Bay and then King Pacific Lodge on the north end of the Great Bear Rainforest. I was drawn to this area because of my history and ancestors who lived here thousands of years ago. A visit to the Cetacea Lab at Whale Point has changed me forever.

During the adoption ceremony, I was given a Gisgaast name, Skun Wihaast, which translates to Big Fireweed Plant. This brings me to another full circle as I have moved back to the north country not far from Greenville, where I was born, and my birth name was Wihaast, meaning Bigfireweed in the Nisgaa language. I live near the village of Kispiox and I am currently working in Walter’s old studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_5yl5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roy Henry Vickers Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40629319204913,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/9996\/4204\/files\/720212c3-3965-40f1-868a-f0ae23bcd8b5.png?v=1758234238"},{"product_id":"harmony-remarque-2-10","title":"Harmony - Remarque #2\/10","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Date: March 2011\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eArtist: \u003c\/span\u003e Roy Henry Vickers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eMedium: \u003c\/span\u003e Remarque\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eImage Size: 19\" x 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"spec-label\"\u003eEdition Size: 10 Remarques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whale project began when I saw some of Carly Steven's drawings while she was working at Eagle Aerie Gallery. I asked Carly if she would consider combining styles and creating a very original print. She agreed, and the process of communication began. Whales have been a big part of people's lives around the Tofino neighborhood for thousands of years. There are many stories of the importance of the whale to the Nuu Chah Nulth way of life. Today, we have seen a resurgence in whales and interest in them, so much so that thousands come to Tofino every year for an experience with whales. These close contacts leave us in awe and wonder at the gentleness of these giant creatures. My first close encounter with a Grey whale happened many years ago in Grice Bay, a piece of sheltered inlet water close to Tofino. I can still see this grey whale swimming up close to my boat, going underneath the boat and coming up on the other side. The whale was very friendly and not afraid of human contact. I will never forget leaning over the side of my boat, touching the whale, and seeing its skin surface ripple in reaction to the touch of a human hand. I found it amazing that the whale could feel such a soft touch. I also remember taking a friend to see this whale who came to be known as Harmony. My friend was so moved by the experience that he could hardly get out of the boat when we returned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHarmony is an appropriate name for this creation, as it also took harmony between two artists to create this image. The realistic portrayal of a grey whale and an old Northwest Coast stylized rendition of the same whale come together in harmony. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThank you Carly for being a part of such Harmony.

She was the friendliest grey whale to visit our area, known for her love of human contact. When she arrived to Clayoquot Sound, the whale watching industry was just beginning and there were only a few people doing whale research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy friend Sharron Carbone was one of the whale watching industry pioneers at that time. She was told of a friendly grey whale close by in Grice Bay and she set out to find it. Sharron was in a 12’ zodiac with two others in the boat when they came across the whale. This friendly whale swam beside the boat and stuck her head out of the water. Sharron amazingly reached out, hugged the whale’s head, and kissed her. She looked at this whale and thought “what amazing harmony”. From then on, the whale became lovingly known as Harmony. She stayed for the summer, feeding and visiting the whale watchers. Some people were scared of her. One boat of fisherman panicked when she came too close and injured her with their engine props when trying to get away from her. At the end of the season, Sharron didn’t come across her again, figuring she left for her journey south for the winter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt was never confirmed that Harmony visited the area again, as identifying whales in the area didn’t begin until some years later.

I have had the incredible experience of fishing near Tofino with humpback whales very close to our boat. This experience can leave one feeling very small and vulnerable and yet so very excited.
