Elaine Smith
Courtenay, British Columbia
Elaine lives in the Comox Valley and has been creating art for more than 30 years.
"I'm driven by the pure joy of being creative. My paintings are images of an expression of the world around me. Inspired by the amazing natural landscape wherever I am, whether its kayaking, hiking or cycling or just simply walking the dogs in my neighbourhood. I see scenes and images, colours and designs that inspire me. I feel that creating art is an act that invites the artist and the viewer to create meaning and story within themselves. I hope my art brings some enjoyment, curiosity and/or possibly eliciting the viewer to create a personal story or emotion(s) with which they can relate."

Always inspired by Nature. Always experimenting. Creating art always lifts my soul.
