Yvonne Maximchuk, Acrylic and Watercolor Artist, Author, Pioneer, Naturalist
Yvonne Maximchuk, born in Bralorne B.C. 1952 has been a working artist her entire life. Her subject material and style vary due to the vast array of subjects to paint and ways to paint them. The magical and infinite material found in the inlets and islands of the Broughton Archipelago has created a lifetime of landscape, seascape, wildlife and garden painting opportunities. Her mastery of expressive watercolor has been the mainstay of her artistic endeavors but painting acrylic on canvas and ceramic studies were never far behind. The artist became an author with the publication of "Full Moon Flood Tide", co-written with neighbour Bill Proctor and published by Harbour Publishing, 2003.
Her most recent writing venture is a novel, drawn on forty years life experience as a homesteader and mariner in the Broughton Archipelago. "Murder Rides a Gale Force Wind"
