- Story
When I was a child living in Kitkatla, I often fell asleep to the sound of drumming. It was the drumming of a basketball on the floor of the gym next to our house. And so it was that I was introduced to a game I grew up playing and loving, a game that was born in Canada and is now played all over the world.
I don’t know why it's taken me so long to portray basketball through my art. I can only muse that there is a time and place for everything.
With the retirement of Michael Jordan, a great player who loved the game and played it with all his heart, it seems that I can comfortably create this work. I am also reminded of life's challenges and how we can overcome them with our will and our heart’s desire to succeed. Aim High refers to aiming for the moon and getting over the fence.
