THE NOBLE ARCHITECT
Facilitator of rich ecosystems. Benefactor of the past. Builder of our future.
This sculpture honors the majestic beaver that once abundantly inhabited and thrived in this area (Portland, Oregon). The beaver — called I'na (eena) by the Chinook—faces the rising sun looking for a day when humans and nature harmonize.

Commissioned by the Regional Arts and Culture Council. Portland, Oregon
