Cori Creed is a Canadian painter who has the ability to
capture the west coast landscape with joy and vitality.
The wealth of textures and colours in our Canadian
landscape provide Creed with the perfect refer-
ence for an exploration in process. The reflections
of tangled branches observed while canoeing on a
tranquil eastern lake; the graphic contrast found in a
grove of birches; shadows cast over jumbles of rocks
and driftwood on west coast beaches; and wading through fields of wild grasses
and blooms all lend inspiration to Creed's work.
This work was no exception.
Grounded and in the sky. With winds and flowers tying it all together. The artist has
lived most of her life in the right side of the brain, reaching to the left to try to sink
her fingers into the dirt and roots and find some grounding when it seems neces-
sary. We take so much of these wonderful, complicated masses for granted...
