🌿 Meet The Artist:
Nat Tuke is an artist and graphic designer living in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh/Squamish, BC. Her art is heavily inspired by those ‘This is it’ moments – that perfect wave; the fleeting alpine glow; a setting sun glittering on a glassy ocean.
Nat is very aware of the fragility of the natural world and the important role it has in our lives, and believes strongly in the power of art as a means to convey this message. Our environment is under threat and our climate is in crisis. In her paintings though, she chooses to celebrate and cherish the beauty of the natural world as a great gift that has been given to us; that must be preserved and protected.
✨ About The Exhibit:
This body of work is a love letter to the living world, honouring the rich biodiversity of British Columbia’s sea-to-sky region — where forests, mountains, oceans, and wildlife live in delicate harmony. These acrylic paintings, rich with movement and dreamlike colour, are accompanied by poetry that reflects on our deep and necessary bond with nature. This is a love letter, but also a call: To love nature fiercely, to notice, to protect it.
The earth is speaking. Are we listening? 🌎
————————————————————————————-
As always, the opening reception is free to attend, and the show is free to view during oporating hours and evening events!
