Alders
Alders are found throughout British Columbia’s coastal rainforest. I was inspired to create this original from one of my previous pieces, Coastline IV, where this grand giant made a brief yet bright appearance.

Pacific Rim
One of my favourite locations to visit for inspiration is the Pacific Rim National Park on the west coast of Vancouver Island. This region includes the villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, as well as an abundance of awe-inspiring islands. Experiences from many trips to this area inform my art work today.
Approaching an island by boat, provides a unique perspective of the coastline. Most islands in these waters are rain-forested, with trees tightly lined up along the shoreline like guardians watching over and protecting sacred lands. From a distance, the row of trees appear to blend together with little definition. Moving closer however, the trees and thick underbrush begin to emerge, each revealing characteristics of size, form, and colour. The rugged shoreline rock formations come to life – Stunning!
The island in this original is a little gem that I came across in the Pacific Rim region last summer. I hope my interpretation of it captures for you the spirit and raw beauty as I experienced it that day.
