we grow where we are needed: Fishfull Thinking

'Tribune Bay' Hornby Island BC Darryl Albert

As you may know, I am an avid lover of independent art. Accordingly, I consider myself extremely lucky to have such an array of talented artists in my life. I've already written about two very unique artists, my sister Paige Reynolds and my friend Gabriel Koury. With so many more to mention however, I plan on dedicating several of my upcoming posts to some of the fantastically creative people I know.

To start, I wanted share with you a family of artists who have recently entered my life. This family is so unbelievably talented, it's hard to put in to words. What's more - they are also some of the most inviting, gracious, caring, loving and supportive people that I know. My very good friend Liv Albert, who introduced me to this clan, is the eldest daughter and quite the amazing acrylic painter. Her little sister Jessica Albert is also incredible at all things art and has a whole collection of paintings and drawings to prove it.

Darryl Albert, their dad, is a full time professional watercolourist who's detailed work captures the tranquility and nature of the West Coast through vibrant colours and playful spontaneity. The first time I saw his work I was absolutely blown away and quickly became the proud owner of some of his work.
