I've lived with and greatly appreciate this fine assemblage by Canace (Billy Robson).    My wife and I bought it from the artist around 2008.  It was an exciting experience to visit the artist's studio.  She is as nice as the work is interesting.  

Shipping partly to be determined.  Hard to say before I pack.  I can say that it will get to you in the same fine condition.  I will only charge actual shipping charges.

Canace's own words:

It was one of those times when I was little and was expected to sit quietly that I was given a pencil and a piece of paper to draw on and hopefully keep still.  I didn't draw the pretty little house with the smiling sun. I drew my hand holding a pencil, drawing on a piece of paper. I think that may have been my first recollection of art and doing things differently than other children. My greatest achievement several years later at the age of eight, was winning a shiny silver dollar for the best Fire Prevention poster. I still have that silver dollar, and I still love to create, whether it's painting, collage, assemblage, graphic art, it's whatever muse strikes me. It's not through formal training, but from the greatest desire to express myself through art. Is it genetic? I don't know. As a child I remember being in awe of my Granny and my Great Aunt Celestine, her daughter who were both such lovely women and accomplished artists. While working on our genealogy I discovered that we have ancestors whose paintings are hanging in the Louvre as well as Belgian museums.

 For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated with old things, tarnished things, rusty things, things with a history. I've collected everything from rusty springs to dragonfly wings.  They are products of our environment, the detritus of our world and a treasure in their own right. The decaying and historical parts of our lives can be reused to evoke ideas, memories and experiences. My greatest joy is to create something with those treasures, to give them a new life and interpretation as reliquaries, collections of memories and perhaps allude to something we seek without knowing.

Not everyone understands what I do, but if they can somehow grasp the feeling that goes into a piece then that's my gratification. I create my art not for recognition nor monetary gain, but for my need to create. Of course the others are a bonus, but like most artists, the need to create is like the need to breathe. I'm honored to say that my work is displayed worldwide now. I've participated in many solo and group exhibitions and my work has been featured in numerous publications . I would have to say that the best part of my life now is seeing my artwork come to fruition.  I'm exactly where I want to be, doing what I love to do.

All best.....
