Artist creation of contre jour atmosphere with mixture foreground shade
Casually walking down Fort Street when my eye captures contrasting lights as I gaze upward at the newer buildings. The colours of autumn bring on a warm feeling of love for this "bursting at the seams" city that still leaves room for nature. I am moved to capture it in paint.
I love walking along the sea shore broadwalk in Victoria. There are endless scenes to capture. In this painting I hope to have caught the sense of Victorians' continuous connection with the outdoors through walking, cycling and other modes of movement in some of the most beautiful cityscapes. This is the side view of the Delta Inn. Hope you enjoy.
I first encountered reaction ferries when I was 18 and heading for university. Since then, I have loved the feel of the water as the ferry is pulled by the river or lake current. I have travelled on numerous ferries, including the two that exist on the Thompson River system where I live. I used the ferry image as a metaphor for movement in one's life and making things accessible.
In 2014, I began a continuing series of paintings using small travel sketches from around BC, my garden flowers that I planted like my beautiful white lily and the idea of the road side sign, calling to the passerby to come in and visit. I watched these road side signs my entire life, amused by some, puzzled by others especially ones found far from the average traveler. I developed my own roadside signs and placed them with a rural building that I spotted in passing and drew in my notebook. Passage honors everything we love that moves on. These things are no longer with us but we remember them and keep them close to our hearts.
Master Printmaker, Nik Semenoff created a unique body of work while developing waterless printmaking technology. He revolutionized printmaking, making it safer and more environmentally friendly, and gave it freely to the world to use. He lectured around the world, with sold-out shows in China and Japan where he was revered. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-edition, multiple colour print (7/10), produced in 2000. It is a hand-pulled print that responds to hierarchy and privilege and how we like to be awarded for our personal accomplishments. It will be matted before shipping.

Many could not write their name and an X designated the agreement. It will be matted before shipping. Reach out to ([email protected]) if you wish to see more work by this amazing printmaker.

Sailing along the BC coast allows me to see incredible sights. We often spend the night in small bays with stunning views. These anchorage spots are sometimes a very welcome refuge from rough seas.
