Jim Green Portrait Sculpture

Artist’s Statement
Jim Green was a dedicated advocate for the poor and worked tirelessly as a community builder in Vancouver. He died in 2012. I feel it’s important that we know and remember him. My dream is to cast this portrait in bronze and have it installed in a public place, just as Jim lived his life … amongst the people. — Geemon Xin Meng
