We are pleased to welcome another passionate artis

We are pleased to welcome another passionate artist to the Friends of Pacific Wild Network! Delphina Nova’s art is inspired by her relationship with the land, as well as animals, dreams, music, and ancestral memories. Here are a few words from Delphina”

“I am Anishnaabe/Métis/bi-racial visual artist, singer/songwriter, and storyteller. I was born in Sudbury, Ontario on the traditional land of the Anishnaabe, and currently make my home on Lekwungen territory in British Columbia. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animal relatives since childhood and experiences with inter-species communication and universal vibrations. Expressive arts help me portray multidimensional realities.”
Thank you for joining @delphina_art

We are so happy to welcome Sean Behnsen of Flynch

We are so happy to welcome Sean Behnsen of Flynch Art to the Friends of Pacific Wild Network!

Located in Victoria, his works are based in acrylic and oil with metallics. Swipe through to see his incredible renderings of animals with this otherworldly metallic technique on each painting!

Here are a few words from Sean! - “Since the very first crayon I picked up, and scribbled coloured nonsense to paper, I’ve wanted to be an artist. Throughout the years, I’ve spent my artistic time delving into unique mediums, trying to find my flair. My canvas types have included scrap wood, driftwood, vinyl records, discarded mirrors, and classic stretched canvas. My paint mediums have included acrylic, oil, wine, coffee, glitter, pearlescents, and most recently metallic acrylics and oils. I believe in the preservation of our natural environment, and the careful balance that our neighbouring ecosystems require to thrive. I became aware of your organization while participating in the Takaya Arts Festival. I volunteer once a week at The Raptors wildlife sanctuary in Duncan.”

We are so happy to add another amazing artist to our group!

We are thrilled to welcome @kathrynbeals to the Friends of Pacific Wild Network!

Kathryn Beals is a professional artist with a background in forestry and environmental science. She donates a portion from each series in support of conservation nonprofits. Her work will draw you into worlds of tidepools, fluid landscapes, and beautiful night skies, we can’t stop looking at her work!

A few words from Kathryn: “I grew up on Vancouver Island, looking in tide pools, exploring small islands in a rowboat, and watching eagles on the beach. These places felt ordinary and limitless to me when I was a kid, but now as an adult, I know that BC’s coastal ecosystems are anything but. As an artist, my work is rooted in my love for these wild places, and I want to give back to organizations like Pacific Wild, who understand our connection to the land and are working to protect this special area of the world.”

You see more of her work at the link in our bio!

Introducing Erika Wurm @wurmwares. Hi, I’m Eri

Introducing Erika Wurm @wurmwares.

Hi, I’m Erika Wurm! I have always been a big proponent for the Earth and all its inhabitants. As a young girl I felt like I needed to be a voice for the voiceless. Now, as a newcomer to the PNW, I feel the need to be the best steward of this land/sea as I can. My art is made of mostly repurposed materials to keep them out of the landfill and give them new life. My inspiration comes from my love of nature highlighting endangered species of flora and fauna.

The first series pictured here reflects 6 species that are threatened in the area where I live: (Sperm Whale, Leatherback Sea Turtle, Short-tailed Albatross, Mazama Pocket Gopher, Sand Verbena Moth and Burrington Jumping Slug). Currently I sell prints all printed on recycled artists paper in a plant-based plastic sleeve that can be composted once you have framed it! I also have just gotten them all printed on eco stickers. Eco stickers are made from recycled paper that was harvested from sustainable forests and are plastic free making them perfect to decorate anything that doesn’t get wet or exposed to elements.

My inspiration is a reflection of the love and respect I have for the natural world. I love featuring local species, especially ones that are endangered and/or overlooked while adding a touch of whimsical humor to it.
