One of my happiest experiences of life here has been getting to know the secret haunts of the wildflowers.
They bloom with little nourishment and wild abandon on the small islands of the Broughton Archipelago, Spring Passage, and Knight Inlet. Bill Proctor my neighbour and friend took me on excursions to find these flowers many times over the years. When I began to deckhand for him on salmon and lingcod fishing trips, we explored Cox and others of the Scott Islands. Over the years I painted several watercolours for him of the flowers we found, in this format he desired with a central panel, featuring a flower or a place special to him, surrounded by a border of several other flowers.
He mounted the paintings in the cabin and bunkroom of his fishing vessel, Ocean Dawn where they resided
for many years. Recently, with no heat in the boat, he thought they might be getting a bit musty, which they were, and he returned them to me. We discussed what to do with them and concluded I would use them to raise and dedicate funds to the forthcoming publication of my new novel. From the originals, I have had made a Limited Edition series of giclee reproductions, (50) and offer them to lovers of the coastal wildflowers (and new books celebrating interesting characters and communities of the BC Coast). Along with your purchase of a set of
the three, I offer a complimentary copy of the new book , working title, "Murder Rides a Gale Force Wind)
Purchase the set of three "Wildflowers of the Coast" giclee ~ Set of three, $510.00 includes pst, shipping in Canada and a complimentary copy of the new book.
For individual prints ($195.00 includes pst and shipping in Canada) for purchases from outside Canada, please contact me to arrange shipping, use the Email Us button or email searosestudio@hotmail.com

~ If you are interested in the story of the Broughton
Archipelago...look for these books on BC Ferries, independent BC
bookstores, Billy's Museum or at SeaRose Studio near Echo Bay.
Contact me for a signed copy, because I have many!
~ Colour the British Columbia Coast takes you to the southern
Gulf islands, Pacific Rim park, the Broughton Archipelago and up the central coast
to beautiful Haida Gwaii, featuring the people and places of our remarkable land/seascape. Drawings are printed on good quality paper for colouring or painting, each with a tear-out strip so you can mount or hang your picture. 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!
Colour the British Columbia Coast promises many hours of happy creativity....
~ Read Bill Proctor and Yvonne's enduring classic of the history, people and places of the Broughton Archipelago, Full Moon Flood Tide - now a BC Classic with 10,000 copies sold! Tide Rips and Back Eddies continues the tradition and offers an in-depth portrait of Blackfish Sound and more coastal history.
~ 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.
Available in your local bookstore, online or through Yvonne
