Alders
Alders are found throughout British Columbia’s coastal rainforest. This piece was inspired by one of my earlier works, Coastline IV, in which a grand alder made a brief yet bright appearance beside the towering Douglas firs.

Pacific Rim
One of my favourite spots for inspiration is the Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island’s west coast. This stunning region, including Ucluelet, Tofino, and nearby islands, has deeply influenced my artwork.
Approaching an island by boat offers a unique view of its rainforests, with trees lining the shore like guardians of sacred lands. From afar, they seem to merge into one, but as you get closer, their true beauty and details emerge. The raw beauty of this rugged coastline never fails to captivate.
This painting features a little gem of an island I discovered last summer. I hope my interpretation captures the spirit and beauty I experienced that day.
