“... I’ve made beautiful things throughout my life...”

Toby and long time love, David (1).jpeg

Toby Wiggins came to SF to commune with other kindred creative souls.  His art was a bridge from person to person, inviting us into a relationship with his creativity and world views. Known for gifting us with his art, Toby was a fearless art-maker!

Toby carefully curated an arts and culture blog on FB for many years. The blog’s name evolved and is currently called, simply, Alive Blog.


Toby is pictured here with his long time love, David Forbes.

I am a Traveler..., 2017
Ron Wiggins
I am a travel on this plane.
He feels the urgency
a confusing redundant wearisome 
state of being
like a fire burning
in the forest, 
and there is no where to run, no escape
I am an urban combatant
living and dying on a planet
which is not my real home
I’ve made beautiful things throughout my life
This is my legacy.
Today, painting is my salvation.
