Downriver
$47.00 – $247.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18If you walk just past the RiverWest Condos along the River Road West upper pathway in the quaint farming and fishing village of Ladner on a sunny summer afternoon, this is the lovely view you will come across. We have affectionately named this place, the Dragonfly Lane. This illustration from 2020 is the first one I ever completed. From that time forward, I was hooked and have since finished at least 40 other illustrations of this place on the Westcoast of BC that I call home.

Gourdeous
$47.00 – $247.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18The Westham Island Herb Farm on Westham Island, Ladner, BC has so much to offer its customers, especially in the late Summer and early Fall. These gourds and all their varieties and fascinating shapes certainly tickled my fancy. I couldn’t resist illustrating them. While there are many different gourds, in array of colours, I was drawn to all the shades of vibrant green in this grouping.

Harbourside Banner
$107.00 – $432.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x3016x40This illustration was initially designed to enter Delta’s street banner competition in 2021. It was one of the first illustrations I completed. It depicts the essence of the little riverside town of Ladner. The Native Dawn fishing boat is moored to the docks in front of the red wharfinger’s house in Harbour Park while a Barred owl looks over the scene and a mute swan gracefully paddles along through the river’s reflection. I used a bold colour palette of red, green and blue to create a sense of both childlike whimsy and warmth.

Heading Home
$95.00 – $430.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x2418x36This illustration is based on a few images I captured of the sunset outside of Speed’s Pub in Ladner British Columbia in March of 2023. Heading Home, Harbourside Sunset, depicts a small boat heading West at sunset in the Chilcotin Slough. In the background is the well recognized Wharfinger House of Ladner Harbour. The sun setting through the Poplar trees of Harbour Park light up the background and river reflections with hues of orange, pink and yellow. Silhouettes are created of pilings and a small boat with a single passenger, heading home. This illustration is dedicated to the memory of René, who was a solo traveller in the world and a constant presence around the river front in Ladner, BC. for many years.

Johnny’s Corner, Ladner Village
$47.00 – $247.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18The heart of Ladner Village, Johnny’s Corner has a deep historical presence as well as serving as a modern hub of village activity. Named Johnny’s Corner after Johnny Lowe who opened Ladner Grocery in 1963. Stir Coffee House that is there now is owned by his son, Robert Lowe. My favourite part of this scene is wonderful aged Oak tree. I believe these sorts of gorgeous mature trees are worth so much to the world. They offer shelter for humans and small creatures alike. They are worth our respect and protection.

Labour of Love
$115.00 – $497.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2424x36This illustration is based on a series of images I captured of the aborgylphs on a row of Alder trees in Deas Island Park, Delta, British Columbia. This image represent a labour of love twice over. The first ‘labour of love’ was performed by the person who originally carved these hearts on a tree in Deas Island Park, in Delta, British Columbia. And the second ‘labour of love’ was me spending somewhere in the region of 40 hours illustrating it! I’m fascinated by arborglyphs as they offer such a sense of wonder and mystery. Who carved these symbols of love and for whom? I always also wonder, too, what happened in all these love stories carved in the barks of trees?

Ladner Machine Shop
$47.00 – $247.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18Early Spring on Elliott St. in Ladner Village on the Westcoast of British Columbia, these red tulips make their appearance in an industrial brick planter just outside the Ladner Machine Shop. Long ago, someone planted these tulips, and these four are what remains. The juxtaposition of the tulips and the retro machine shop appeals to my personal aesthetic sensibilities; grungy and beautiful, with a feeling of hope and resiliency.
