"When I saw that burned out car, I thought it would be a good spring break activity to show the kids how art can exist outside a gallery setting, how art can activate a community and invite interaction and also how art can bring an element of brevity."
In helping them create their artworks, they talked about the idea of the gallery…how works are displayed, how a viewer is allowed to interact with those works, the cut the gallery takes, etc.
"A burned out car can mean a lot of different things to many different people. For me, it was a simple thing that I imagined would make a lot of people laugh and it did. So many people posted pictures of the signs, or reached out to me personally. And then someone put up a sold sign, others added things to our signs. And on the day it was towed someone made a crocheted sold sign. Just so great."
Her two young daughters (Ora Hunter age 11, Nova Hunter age 7) love participating in the annual youth art show at Gibsons Public Art Gallery GPAG and this year Mira's niece (Lula Labreche age 8) and nephew (Henry Labreche age 10) also submitted works.
Mira Hunter is a visual artist and a second-generation whirling dervish, an all-male 13th century mystic tradition. She began her training at the age of 16 with her father.
As a visual artist, she studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Yale University, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, graduating with a MFA from Columbia University in 2013. She has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, the London Forum, Istanbul’s Arena, Celebrate Brooklyn, and the Dubai International Film Festival. She has collaborated with Turkish born musician/producer Mercan Dede, the Modern Dance Company of Turkey, and she was featured in David Michalek’s Slow Dance project that was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2008, and appeared in Fatih Akin’s award winning documentary Crossing The Bridge: The Sounds of Istanbul.
Hunter’s sculptural installations often involve imagery captured using a bullet time camera ring she created with her husband Derek Junck Hunter, which they presented at dorkbot NYC in 2011.
She currently lives and works on the edge of the wilderness in Roberts Creek, British Columbia.

A life long love for wood carving and the tragic passing of her Father from ALS inspires Halfmoon Bay resident Ruthy Boehm to take up chainsaw carving on Sunshine Coast BC Canada π¨π¦
Born and raised on Vancouver's North Shore she became a natural lover of our forests early in life. At age 13 Ruthy went to "Camp Potlatch" along the picturesque shores of Γtl'αΈ΅a7tsem - Howe Sound where she started carving on a cedar log with a pocket knife and immediately fell in love with the fragrance and beauty of the wood.
She eventually learned how to chainsaw but rarely used one for art up until 5 years ago.
In 2018, Ruthy's dad passed away from ALS after battling it for a year (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis aka Lou Gehrig's Disease - a rare progressive neurological nervous system disease that affects motor neurons) ALS Canada.
"Lou Gehrig's disease robbed my dad of an amazing life he was living. It's an extremely difficult way to leave this world. He made every moment count that he had left and that's where I get my strength to also combat my own life illnesses and create my moments of joy in life✨️"
It took a huge toll on her health and she eventually mustered up some strength again and made a decision about what she had always wanted to do and that was chainsaw art.
"I knew I was an older woman but I also knew I had my last window of opportunity still at my disposal. That's when I bought my first chainsaw."
Ruthy learned everything she could about chainsaw carving by following other carvers. Now by word of mouth she does commissions including an Eagle carving for Jeanne and Al Fike of "Divine Love Sanctuary" retreat in Sechelt. During the cold winter months Ruthy does smaller pieces like cedar feathers and Wood Spirits. She is in the process of carving 2 more projects including Baby Groot, a Marvel Comics character plus a commissioned mermaid bird bath.
"I'm definitely in my element... Its a wonderful healing Wood life for me."
