With my paintings I want to give you a place to go
~ similar to the way we can ‘travel’ when we listen to music ~
I want to give you a place where you can rest your eyes and excite your soul,
open your heart and soothe your nerves.
A view of healing green magic.
If you are unable to spend time in a forest today . . . let me take you there; come along with me.
Come, let’s go for a walk together, in the forest . . .

This Inland Temperate Rainforest in the interior of British Columbia, Canada,
is the only one of its kind on Earth, a wet belt resulting from weather systems,
laden with precipitation from the Pacific Ocean almost 500 miles away,
rising over the coastal mountains and bringing down a lot of snow
and a fair bit of rain when they come up against the heights of these
Columbia and Rocky Mountain Ranges.
It is a lush and diverse ecosystem, boasting a huge variety of species of trees, mosses, ferns and lichens.
