Christine is inspired by nature, a concern for the environment, and art history. Some of her art is inspired by the Native Art of the Northwest Coast. She learned about Native Art while living in a remote Native community on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Eastern philosophy and a concern for the environment have been a strong influence in her art.

By Brush and Pen

Through the lens of a camera, stroke of a brush or pen to paper, I bring to life my journey.
Abstract with twists of emotion best describes my approach to my work.
Living in the Cowichan Valley has given me the opportunity to be in the company of some of the most talented artists.
At the present time, my studio is in my home in downtown Duncan.

"Art is important for it commemorates the seasons of the soul or a special or tragic event in the soul's journey. Art is not just for oneself, not just a marker of one's own understanding. It is also a map for those who follow after us."
  ~ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes "Women who run with the wolves"

Dave and Pauline Thompson

"the studio - by us", multi-media

Dave & Pauline Thompson
226 Grants Lake Rd., Lake Cowichan
Phone: 250 749-3298

As a self taught artist Dave has painted in oils, egg tempera and water color. In the past several he has found his greatest talent in wood. His creations in intarsia are as challenging to create as they are beautiful to see.

Dave has also won as Award of Merit at the Duncan Spring Art Show.

Pauline, who is also self taught, paints in water colors as well as doing calligraphy. This year Pysanky is also becoming a new skill.

Her inspiration comes from wanting to put to paper what is in her mind's eye.
