Artist - Suzanne Jensen

Years of sailing on the west coast have greatly influenced this artist's body of work. Her paintings reflect an affinity for all of British Columbia's west coast and particularly Vancouver Island settings.

"I try to capture the exquisite iridescence of fish and crustaceans, the calm of a foggy inlet or the majesty of old growth forest using the medium's of: acrylic, watercolor or pastel.

I have lived on Vancouver Island for almost thirty years now. As islands go, it is a very special place and a continuous source of inspiration. The rainforest , the arbutus groves, and the wild places on the west coast of the island serve to nourish my soul."

502 Baker Street - Nelson

Artist - Graham Jones

Born and raised on the Canadian west coast and living in Nelson for the last ten years has helped give me an appreciation of what it means to be "Western Canadian". I have been photographing life for fourteen years now and often find myself looking at things as though through a lens. My background in photography is self-taught while my inspiration comes from other photographers as well as through the ability to capture a moment. I have a penchant for the abstract and enjoy the manipulation of the process in creating an image.

This current work is meant to look at the simple beauty found in nature. There are so many wondrous things that go unnoticed in this fast paced age. It’s really time to slow down and take a look around. I always try to stop and smell the flowers…you should to.

SCENE IN VICTORIA

All around us we see folks wearing t-shirts with a company or group logo and design displayed. With the realization that monetarily inexpensive but ecologically expensive shirts are bad for the environment, many groups are now sourcing their shirts from Hemp and Company. In the last month we have outfitted four groups with hemp t-shirts.

Spiral Cafe, VicWest's premier coffee and music house, utilized hemp shirts and printed them with their very unique spiral design. Groove to the music, enjoy a latte, and pick up a cool Spiral shirt at 418 Craigflower Road, Vic West, 386 9303.

Also Mike and the members of the band, Children of Celebrities, chose hemp shirts for their group. You can contact them through the Spiral Cafe.

The Cannabis Compassion Club of Victoria has H&C men's and women's locally made hemp t-shirts with logos front and back on sale at CBC of C, 826 Johnson Street, Victoria. Ted and the gang at CBC of C, offer a very needed and compassionate service to people with permanent physical disabilities and diseases. You can contact them at 381-4220 or by email at hempology@gmail.com.
