Artist Statement :
"Eagle's Rainbow is produced produced in celebration of ten years of printing with Open Pacific Graphics in Victoria, B.C. It was the spring of 1974 when I walked into the print shop on Johnson Street. The result was my first limited edition silkscreened print. It seems that the ten intervening years have slipped by too quickly. The inspiration for "Eagle's Rainbow" came on the very afternoon I decided to produce a print for gallery distribution. Outside the print shop there was a beautiful rainbow and a few minutes later, two eagles soared high above Victoria. It seems fitting then to unite the eagle, my crest, and the rainbow as a symbol of the past ten years of working together with one of our countries [sic] finest silkscreen printers." R.V
