Cheryl Raven spent her early childhood in Alert Bay before relocating to Vancouver with her family at the age of five. She began carving in the late 1980s, learning from her uncles Lloyd and Raymond Wadhams and later refining her practice under the mentorship of Don Dawson. Though modest in scale, this miniature frog-form feast dish and ladle display remarkable precision, with crisp, confident carving that belies their diminutive size. Gorgeous.
