BC Author and Watercolor Artist
Nutmeg, A Rowboat
Email Us! Call Us!
The beauty of the Broughton
Archipelago never ceases to delight
me. The same is true of watercolour,
always new beauty, new surprise........
and sometimes acrylic on canvas can be
as luminous........ as in my most recent
paintings.This new painting along with other
rowboat images, which say so much to me, is
on display at our home gallery near Echo Bay
in the Broughton Archipelago. We'd love it
if you dropped by for a studio visit.
Or check out Billy's Museum this summer, a short walk overland from Pierre's @Echo Bay- to get a good look at some featured paintings,a selection of books and our porcelain pottery, as well as Billy's amazing collection of artifacts from several generations of the areas inhabitants. Email or call me to secure this painting or inquire about another.
Our Summer 2018 Show Schedule
Wednesday July 25-Saturday July 28 Albert Munro and I will be Resident Artist's at Pierre's @Echo Bay, presenting a variety of new artworks, watercolour and acrylic on canvas paintings and beautiful new porcelain dinnerware under cover of the roof between the Post Office/Store and the Dining Room at Echo Bay. Like last summer, we will have our potters wheel set up and will be demonstrating the art of throwing porcelain pottery on the wheel and offering a 'tryout' to interested parties. This is a great opportunity to see 'art in action' and ask those questions you've always wanted to ask of an artist.
Saturday August 4, Telegraph Cove Boardwalk Fair . We'll have a table on the boardwalk loaded with goodies- books, artworks, and pottery. Come on by and say hi, so much creative art to select from!
Saturday September 8, Contemplating the Texada island Paintout this year, I think I'll make it!

To the left of each drawing a short description of the scene, a book title or internet site offers more information about the topic. An Artist's Tip on each page too, which makes this book a whole lot more than just another colouring book! Retailing at $20.00, Colour the British Columbia Coast promises a lot of enjoyable creative time....

In Drawn to Sea, Yvonne creates stunning, lyrical word pictures of her home in the Broughton Archipelago. Making the most of the tools available, from paintbrush to chainsaw, she has flourished in this remote area, carving out a home and a career in a place far from just about everyone.

As I become a 'mature' artist, people who purchased paintings from me twenty and thirty years ago are aging into smaller homes and reducing their possessions. I've had a few interesting communications from individuals who have purchased my art 'second-hand' or inquired about the insurance 'value' after inheriting an artwork from 'Grandma'. I've even been offered the opportunity to re-purchase paintings sold long ago, and this is one of them.
Thus, this plein air watercolour came back into my possession, bringing with it the powerful and beautiful memories of my painting workshop in Avignon, France in 1985, when I was thirty-two years old. After boarding the TGV (tay-jhay-vay) from Avignon to Paris, I traveled from Paris to Monet's garden at Giverney, the artist's mecca. Sitting by the shore of Monet's pond, painting the waterlilies he had nurtured and celebrated in his inimitable style inspired me - forever. Is there a better way to create beauty than to grow a garden and then to paint it? As I reflect on my life and painting history, it is clear this journey was an inspirational and an exalting high-light in my life. I knew it then, and I was not wrong; it remains true to this day.
