"Fossil III", Artists: Milo White and Lin McJunkkin, Florence, Oregon

Milo White began to find himself around 2014. That is to say he began to realize he was an artist. As it is with many artists it was difficult at first to even call himself one. As time went on he realized he was actually an artist his whole life and just didn't realize it.[from trinkybusiu gallery]San Francisco native Lin McJunkin is an artist and science educator who feels compelled to advocate for the health of our planet and its inhabitants. Her sculpture focuses the heat of her commitment, as well as that of her glass kilns and metal torches, on the effects of our behavior on the environment.[from lin mcjunkin website]

"Loki-Sockeye Salmon" Sculpture, Artist: Jud Turner, An American Artist, Florence, Oregon

We aren't your average fish sellers. At Loki Fish Co, we're part of a unique group of small-boat fishermen who have chosen to bypass the processors and market their catch directly to you. We've been family owned and operated since our inception in 1979 when Pete Knutson and Hing Lau Ng purchased the Loki, a 38-foot 1959 wooden gillnetter. Today Pete runs his boat, the Njord, and his son Jonah runs the Loki, which he inherited from his father in 2006. [from lokifish website[
