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.

Introducing: Takaya's Legacy Takaya’s Legacy Pr

Introducing: Takaya's Legacy

Takaya’s Legacy Project was established in 2020 in honour of Takaya, the world-famous lone wolf who lived near Victoria, B.C. for almost eight years before he was shot and killed by a hunter.

Takaya’s remarkable life and tragic end have inspired people around the world to advocate for better protection for wolves in British Columbia. This campaign is spearheaded by Takaya’s Legacy Project, which works to promote wolf conservation through public education and political advocacy.

Takaya’s Legacy Project raises funds for Pacific Wild through their online shop (takayaslegacy.com/shop), which sells artwork, photographs, and books about Takaya, with all profits going to Pacific Wild and other wolf conservation organizations.

Introducing: Roxy Querouz

Hello everyone!

I'm Roxy, an abstract and intuitive artist from Vancouver, BC and welcome to the Instagram Takeover of the Friends of Pacific Wild! I'm super excited to be here today to help launch the new Friends of Pacific Wild website along with my fellow artists. The site is packed full of amazing talent joining forces for a common goal - pooling our talent to help Pacific Wild carry out their mission to defend the Wildlife of the Pacific Coast of Canada. I discovered my love for painting in the fall of 2019 during a personal development journey and have not looked back since. My work is often textured to mimic the ups & downs of life, but always bold, bright, and colourful as it is my way of sharing positivity and love to the world. There will be more of me and my work in the Stories so keep an eye out! Thank you for your time and attention and hope you enjoy your time here. Also, don't forget to follow @midnight.abstractions if you would like to join my art world.

Thank you!

-Roxy
