ABOUT

My name is Opal Retzer and I come from a long line of uncompromising rebels. We dream and we create, just as we wish to see the world around us -- just as we delight in and know of the myriad of possibilities for alternative, thoughtful, more deeply satisfying ways of doing things. There are such unexplored, unexpressed depths of the beautiful creative mind offering itself to be revealed if only we are brave enough to go there. If only we listen to the calm, steady voice of our spirit. We already know what to do, and we are already free. Our indigenous selves, our roots, have shown us where we come from and what we are capable of connecting to -- they tell us where to begin, and the epic simplicity to aspire to. I am in love with the Art of the Folk, the people's expression, the sweet and raw and unadulterated, non-contrived, most truthful and accurate truest expression of the soul and what we see and feel and know, the storytelling that helps us survive and stay connected and fed with the magic to move forward, honouring to the beauty of this existence and the infinite, mirthful, brilliant, purposeful, genius nature of it all. This is what guides my heart, my direction in life, my business, and my art making.
