Victoria artist sows seeds of sanctuary at Woodwynn farm

,

Woodwynn is getting an art installation, courtesy of a local artist.

Victoria artist Deryk Houston’s large-scale installations, encompassing themes of peace and nature, have been exhibited everywhere from Victoria and Nanaimo to the B.C. Interior and Baghdad. Now, with the help of his son and fellow artist Samuel Houston, he has started a dream art project at the Woodwynn therapeutic farm in Central Saanich. The 193-acre organic farm runs programs for Greater Victoria homeless and operates a vegetable market.
