A body of work with several different threads of content created in the San Juan Islands National Monument in Washington State.  Cascadian area of the United States of AMerica during the time period of 2016~2023. The artist established a non commercial self funded art space from which to create personal work practice, exhort others and to base a series of recognition to local regional and internationally artists and performers.

The largest space of its kind and basically the only one in the San Juan Islands, it became known as SOUL and its intention was to edify green politics and issues and support areas of activism concerning peace and justice issues and non commercial creative endeavors.
