Description:
Forests often feel magical and sacred. The concept behind this painting (of a sketch I made of my daughter cycling on hornby Island) is based on the research of forest ecologists who confirm what indigenous people of North America have known for thousands of years, that there IS magic at work! Trees communicate with one another and form complex societies, and forests are indeed intelligent systems build in sophisticated relationships with all creatures, including humans. Lucky us. Extraordinary and wonderful.
