This painting captures the raw beauty of Northern BC's glacial waters, where the rivers
once ran thick and shimmering red with spawning sockeye. It's a tribute to a landscape
my husband and I hiked and loved, yet it carries a heavy truth: these iconic fish are
drifting toward extinction as they battle habitat loss and the impact of fish farms.
Salmon are the heartbeat of the Pacific Northwest, providing essential nutrients that
sustain everything from the grizzly bears on the banks to the ancient forests themselves.
This piece is a reminder of what’s at stake and why protecting this delicate ecosystem
matters.
