    ******************************
    Robert Rufus was born in the small, northern Vancouver Island village of Alert Bay and lived much of his live in the Victoria area.
    He is a Kwaguilth first nations carver who finds inspiration in the abundant ocean he grew up beside. Robert has always regarded the ocean as the provider and life source for his people. The fish serves as a powerful symbol of regeneration, self-sacrifice and perseverance. He often finds himself carving spiney rockfish, salmon and halibut.
    Robert started carving 5 years ago and acknowledges Garry Thomas for helping to bring the inspiration and techniques of this craft to his life. He prefers to work in cedar, creating strong simple lines that are accented in vibrant colours.
    For Robert, carving helps him connect to his rich cultural heritage and share it with others.
