Siwash Rock is a Coast Salish landmark in Stanley Park. In Indigenous legend, Q’uas the Transformer turned Skalsh into stone as a reward for his selflessness, creating a figure that endures through time. Through years of observing Siwash Rock while living in Vancouver, my intrigue and abstract visions recently manifested in a painting. The play of blue tones for the rock relates to the local atmosphere of water and sky, while these colours also carry Indigenous significance around connection, community, and spiritual guardianship. A figurative silhouette honours the legend and reflects thoughts of selflessness, resilience, and timeless strength. The figure embraces the stone, holding its importance.

Victoria Mitchell explores emotional, visceral, and environmental sensitivities, through abstract and representational drawings and paintings. She is influenced by extensive studies of body structure and kinetics, and is strongly inspired by connections with our natural surroundings.
"While painting, I absorb into the exploration of environmental, physical & emotional dynamics. These expressions which might otherwise go undefined, demonstrate connections between these different realms of experience. The opportunity for introspection and sharing, brings me excitement and joy in the creation of each piece."
