There's a spirit here on Vancouver Island that feeds the soul of our local artists, and master woodcarver Francois Mongeau is no exception. We visited Francois in his Errington studio to discover the passion behind his art. Watch now to find out what feeds this soul and what he does with his creative energy here on the west coast of Canada.

"The trees here, being first growth, are like older beings," says Francois. "I knew it was the medium that I wanted to work with, and I've never regretted it."
