Our August Feature Wall Artist is

Patricia Smith
I am a fourth-generation she/her Canadian settler artist of Scandinavian/Icelandic maternal and British/Scottish paternal lineage. Coastal communities, particularly remote Ocean Falls, provided the ocean-breezed scenery of my childhood. Before returning to Pacific shores to study at UBC, I viewed the lakes of Vernon and Kelowna from horseback. I have been privileged to raise my family, teach and create in Salmon Arm since 1987.
