Soaring Over Tofino, Dana Statham (1000pcs)

Glide above Flores Island and take in the remote beaches and coastline of the Wild Side trail from a bird’s-eye view. Artist Dana Statham captures the calm, meditative beauty of this special place within the traditional territory of the Ahousaht First Nation. Painted after her first maternity leave, Statham explored deep teals and blues and the intricate details of driftwood, trees, and coastline, creating a piece that feels alive and full of quiet wonder.
