Silver pendants by Dene artist John Velten represent the Sun and Moon as "Life's Equilibrium."  John Velten has been an illustrator from a young age, possessing over 10 years of drawing and illustrative practice, three years of fine arts production and one year of event-producing experience.

The Sun and the Moon represent that, "Each day, we’re presented with the opportunity to reinvent who we are.  It all begins with how we think about ourselves and our surroundings. Finding the light in the darkness is an important step to truly finding our way. Recognizing the patterns occurring before our eyes, there’s a circle that completes these connections and becomes vastly complex with time. Mindfulness and being present with ourselves help decipher our purpose in tangent with a responsibility that comes with the power of knowing oneself." Velten says that these pieces represent the cycles, shifts and changes that happen within each of us, and complement one another's energy by completing the circle.
