Our Spirit Stones were made as little reminders to stay connected and keep thriving each day. Keep a spirit stone in your pocket to help gently remind you of your needs, wants, and dreams. Howlite is a semi-precious stone that represents tranquility and peace while the etched owl teaches us to use our intuitive nature by sharing an ancient wisdom that connects us to one another.

Maynard Johnny Jr. was born in 1973 in Campbell River, BC, and is of Coast Salish Penelakut descent on his father's side and Cape Mudge Kwakwaka'wakw on his mother's side. He is primarily a self-taught artist who has been studying and working since the age of seventeen.
Maynard's signature use of bold, bright colours and graceful line work embodies the beauty and energy of contemporary Coast Salish art while drawing upon the rich history of Coast Salish two-dimensional design.
He has been inspired by many North West Coast artists and particularly admires the works of Robert Davidson, Art Thompson, and Mark Henderson.Maynard Johnny Jr. was born in 1973 in Campbell River, BC, and is of Coast Salish Penelakut descent on his father's side and Cape Mudge Kwakwaka'wakw on his mother's side.
