20" x 32" - Acrylic

This painting is about grief. The red path is one that is travelled over and over again, and the layers of receding trees are the layers that unfold over decades of retravelling. A nurse log emerged by the trail as I painted and says something about the things that can grow from that soil. What is at the end of the path? Some people see a sunset, some see dawn, and some see a fire. What do you see?

Inspired by the intricate beauty and fragile ecosystems of the ocean, Coral Reef is a sculptural ceramic light fixture that blurs the line between functional object and organic form. Each element is individually wheel thrown in porcelain, echoing the branching, layered, and porous structures found in coral formations. When illuminated, light filters through the openings and textures, casting shifting patterns that recall sunlight moving through water.

12" x 18" - Oil on Textured Canvas

This coastal landscape is inspired by my deep love of the West Coast, where the ocean, forests and ever-changing light continually spark ideas for my work. Time spent wandering beaches, watching the clouds and listening to the rhythm of the waves often finds its way into my paintings. I painted this piece on richly textured canvas, allowing the surface to add depth and character, and to echo the layered, natural beauty of the coastline that inspires me.

20" x 20" - Oil on Birch Cradleboard

Spring on the BC Coast brings a plethora of wildflowers but perhaps most stunning are the native camas blossoms. Here we travel a path down to the water greeted by the purple of the camus in contrast to the yellow of the buttercups. Although this scene was painted on Galiano Island looking across Active Pass towards Mayne, it reminds me of many places in and around southern Vancouver Island.

25.25" x 37.75" - Matted Fine Art Print in metal frame with non-reflective glass

Photographed in the heart of the Tetons, autumn is the pinnacle of photography in this landscape, when the colors of the fields, fresh snow in the mountains, and the crisp clarity of the air all come together.

The day and night before this image was captured, photographer Matt Shannon camped in the mountains as a powerful storm rolled through, bringing lightning and heavy rain. As the system moved across the range, clouds became trapped along the peaks and temperatures dropped, leaving a fresh coat of snow just before sunrise.

The wild conditions discouraged most photographers from risking their equipment in the rain, but Matt Shannon remained camped out in the storm, waiting for the perfect moment. Just 30 minutes before this photograph was taken, rain was still falling where he stood. Cold and wet, he waited as the storm cleared, knowing the opportunity would be worth it.

Matt Shannon is a photography educator who leads workshops while sharing his adventures, techniques, and photography knowledge on his YouTube channel.

Hidden in plain sight in the middle of Saanich, BC, stands Summit Park. Perched on a hill surrounded by busy roads, the Garry Oak meadow is an oasis of quiet and light.
This is one of the reasons I love living in Victoria so much - I don’t have to travel far to find myself somewhere completely breathtakingly beautiful.
