FEATURED ARTIST: BRITTANY WEST

 

 

 

Brittany West, the creative visionary behind Lijn Design Co, is establishing her name in the Canadian art community. She is emerging as a notable voice in the contemporary art world by engaging viewers with paintings that evoke the serene yet powerful character of the Salish Sea.

Residing in a remote floating house on the very water she paints, Brittany is profoundly influenced by her deep, daily connection with the ocean’s ever-changing moods. This unique perspective allows her to capture the sea’s ethereal beauty and dynamic essence with remarkable authenticity.

Brittany’s work is known for its vibrant colour palettes and refined detail. Her close relationship with the marine environment imbues her paintings with both personal resonance and poignant environmental insight, translating the Salish Sea’s reflections, tides, and light into compelling visual narratives. Through her work, she hopes to highlight how deeply intertwined human actions are with nature, emphasizing the critical connection between our behaviour and the health of the ocean.
