Spiritbrush Artist Stumbles Into Mother Nature's Refuge An exhibition of paintings and prints

This declaration—equal parts defiant and sincere—sits at the heart of Spiritbrush Artist Stumbles Into Mother Nature's Refuge, a deeply personal and spiritual exhibition that brings together decades of creative pursuit, reflection, and awakening. After more than 40 years of practicing the art of being a struggling artist,and having spent the last 30 years navigating life—and art—through the rugged beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador, this return to the west coast marks a new chapter. A rediscovery. A re-rooting. Vancouver Island’s untamed wilderness now becomes the backdrop and the muse for a fresh and inspired body of work. This show is more than a collection of landscapes or nature-inspired forms—it’s a conversation with Mother Nature herself. Shapes, colors and patterns of the natural world have been translated into gestural brushstrokes, textures, natural palettes and imagery. Visitors will enjoy original paintings and prints of the artist's desire to capture not just what is seen—but what is felt—in the presence of wild, living beauty.
