Hereโs a little story about how this vibrant fish tile found its way to my shop and became something truly special! ๐๐
While exploring some vintage finds, I came across this adorable hand-painted fish tile signed by none other than Gail Sibley โ a talented artist based in Victoria, British Columbia (just a stoneโs throw from Salt Spring Island).
Intrigued by the artist's signature, I decided to dig a little deeper. After a bit of research, I was blown away by Gailโs incredible talent and vibrant work. Gailโs philosophy? โMy focus is on creating a visual extravaganza of color using the smallest number of colors.โ Talk about a color wizard!
Feeling inspired, I reached out to Gail to ask if I could sell this tile in my Etsy shop (giving her full profit from this sale). And guess what? Not only did she give her blessing, but she also suggested something truly heartwarming โ โค๏ธ all profits from this sale would go to The Institute for Sustainability Education & Action (I-SEA), a wonderful cause close to her heart thatโs based right on Salt Spring Island. ๐ณ
โค๏ธ So, when you purchase this one-of-a-kind fish tile, youโre not just adding a splash of color to your space โ youโre also helping support an amazing environmental cause. ๐
