Artist Jeff DeBoer discusses the “Hero’s Journey,” and how creating art is really about creating yourself.

Jeff de Boer, RCA, ASA, is a Calgary-based multi-media artist with an international reputation for producing some of the world’s most original and well-crafted works of art. With an emphasis on metal, he is best known for such bodies of work as suits of armour for cats and mice, armour ties and sword-handled briefcases, rocket lamps and pop culture ray guns.  In the last decade, Jeff has moved towards producing large-scale public works, ranging from giant wind-up tin toys, figurative pieces and sculptures incorporating technology.
