Robin Tinney, originally from Bancroft, Ontario now lives and works in Toronto.  An Algonquin artist, he carves stone, bone and wood. The style of his work varies greatly.  There is often a “merging” theme, blending the real and the spiritual worlds.  This theme of change or metamorphosis, common in primitive art, is representative of the changes in himself, his people, and society at large. He creates designs that show pride in our past and hope for our future.  Robin led a three-session soapstone carving workshop at the AGB in July of this year.
