ArtisTREE Festival
Excited to be a part of this inaugural event in such a gorgeous setting!!!
“ArtisTREE Festival will be woven through the lawns of Victoria's best kept ‘secret’ garden oasis. Guests will stroll through pockets of diverse artistic expression, with the opportunity to eat from delicious food trucks, feel creatively inspired, purchase unique wares from nearly 150 Makers and dance to some amazing musicians.
There will be areas with shade, areas with sun and offerings from as many arts as we can compile into this majestic setting. Government House, set in the heart of Rockland, is home for not only the heritage gardens, but an enclave of endangered Gary Oak Meadow ecosystem. Festival goers can wander through the manicured rose gardens, pond gardens and the natural Woodland as part of these spectacular grounds.
ArtisTREE Festival creates experiences of art, artistic lifestyle and nature that connect and inspire…
Artisans, Performance, Art, Food, Music and MAGIC.”

Pacific Wild - Wild Auction 2020
My piece “Ghosts” for Pacific Wild’s Wild Auction fundraiser from November 9-12. Original pen, ink and watercolour on art board.
Imagine a world without Wild Salmon. Wild Salmon are a foundational species to life on the Pacific Northwest. People of all cultures and many species of wildlife depend on the marine-rich nutrients that they provide. Salmon watersheds provide clean drinking water, and because they are composed of flowing rivers and dense forests, they also absorb carbon to slow climate change. The commercial fishing industry supports local economy and communities along the coast. Between deforestation and destruction of natural habitats, fish farms, sea lice, natural predators, human industry, climate change, rising ocean temperatures, pollution and other threats, these incredible fish are in decline.
I’ve grown up as an illustrator on this coast and wild salmon have always been a big part of my life in one way or another. It saddens me to think of the potential future of these fish, but I do feel optimistic and believe that art and imagery will help connect people to these issues. I thank Pacific Wild for including art in their campaign fundraisers.
