Location
Silk Purse Arts Centre

Vancouver-born artist Valerie Raynard's work celebrates trees from the West Coast of Canada. Set against bright blue skies or dark shadows, her trees are bold & graphic, with undulating, peeling surfaces & explosive colour. Raynard exposes their immense complexity & highlights the geometry in their forms to reawaken the viewer’s interest & love for the largest & most powerful plants on our earth, which are constantly under threat from man-made & ecological disasters . Using her evocative art, Raynard aims to remind us of the grandeur & benefits of trees and the need to protect our delicate ecosystem.
