Why Salt Chuck Art?
The name Salt Chuck Art came from my initial inspiration of nature. A salt chuck is where salt water comes into contact with fresh water. Chuck means water or ocean to others. I have always been drawn to the ocean and wanted to represent a home for art even if there’s not a specific location.
I picture a serene river flowing into the ocean, when you can see the red sea of spawning salmon swimming back home. A field of beautiful wildflowers, which bumble bees are buzzing around with sticky pollen on their under bellies. With a smooth rocky beach, and protective mountains surrounding, where bear cubs chase after each other and kayakers take a pic nic.
