I hope to engage anyone who finds joy and inspiration in my artwork. While I haven't specifically targeted any particular audience, I welcome anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature and the positivity of my creative vision. I don't have strict routines in my art practice, as I prefer to let my creativity flow naturally. However, I do set aside time for painting when inspiration strikes, and I find that this helps me stay motivated and focused on my artistic endeavors. Moving to Canada was a defining moment that influenced my practice and inspired me to focus on painting mountains.
The stunning landscapes of Squamish sparked a newfound love for nature in my art, shaping the direction of my creative journey. . -- LUCIE VOJNAROVA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve always loved art and doodling in the corners of my sketchbooks. This took me to Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design where I experimented as a young creative.
I’ve found my voice as an abstract artist in the last 10 years. What is most important to me is being playful and enjoying myself. I make art to experiment with colour, form and materials.
If I’m not enjoying the process then I shift direction. I don’t do any planning and work in a stream-of-consciousness. My work has been referred to as intuitive abstraction.

A VISUAL ART and CREATIVE WRITING ART EXHIBITION
Celebrating local artist collaborations, the birds of Squamish, and their special habitats in our region.
This travelling exhibit, a cohesive mosaic, showcases how words and visual art can complement one another to create a novel, impactful art installation and environmental message.
