Cedar Community, a Series in Oil
An ongoing oil painting series of the small and beautiful community of Cedar, BC.
This project was begun as a means to attract attention in my community to my ongoing campaign to treat my severe scoliosis. The series is focused on Cedar, a village on beautiful Vancouver Island where I work as a barista.
Begun from a place of existential fear around my changing body, the work of documenting Cedar in oil has helped to ground me in natural beauty and a sense of gratitude for the community around me as I grapple with my progressive condition.
Donations, sharing, and words of support for my creative process and physical recovery can be offered at GoFundMe, link here. All are equally appreciated; thank you for your support!
All paintings are completed on 5x7 and 9x12 canvas boards, using paints and materials I have collected for cheap through classified ads, thrift, and a scrounger's luck.
