“Inspired by ancestral history, The Forest Voice reflects my journey, communicated through sculptural figures, bowl-like vessels, and woodland photographs. Every leaf, rock, and tree, becomes part of the dialogue. Exploring my family’s shared places, those I know and some I’ve yet to experience, I’m recreating events through the mystery and folklore of the forest. To those who sheltered and foraged, with hope and fortitude, my stories are offerings of love, light, and guidance. May you always find your way.” ~Robin MacDonald-Foley
