Please meet Perry Rath! Perry Rath Arts . Perry Rath is a Canadian artist living and working on the unceded traditional Territory of the Gidimt’en Clan of the Witsuwit’en Nation, near Smithers in NW BC.... His distinctive landscape-based paintings explore the range of patterns that humans rely upon to comprehend inner and outer environments. Drawing on botanical and geological motifs, maps, photographs and cultural iconography, these elements are assembled in a painterly way, juxtaposing geometric divisions with organic undulations. Within these works is a fascination by all that is held within the landscape and the maps of that territory the stories, the routes, the changes, the tragedies, and the reverence. Born in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, in 1971, Rath settled near Smithers in 2002, living rurally with his wife, 2 sons, and young daughter, amongst a variety of mountain wildlife. He has been teaching art at Smithers Secondary School since 2005, where he has developed a range of innovative arts initiatives and creative youth showcases, receiving a provincial BCRTA Golden Star Award for the Honouring Our Elders project. He also is sponsor teacher for SSS Youth Action (combining Youth For a Better World & the Green Team, focusing on environmental and social justice), and the Gender-Sexuality Alliance (GSA for LGBTQ+ youth). Perry Rath has established himself as a prominent artist, educator and advocate in his region. . We absolutely Perry's thoughtful, creative and beautiful art works!

Please meet Cindy Lewis of Cranberry Coho Photography! @cranberry.coho . I really love nature and it really inspires me! I have a bit of a bear addiction, love them, love to watch them for hours, photograph them, spend time in the wilderness with them, learn bear behaviour, and try to teach others that they are not the big scary beasts that they are made out to be. I work on a Charter Boat most of the summer/fall season where we take people on bear viewing trips. When I'm not... out on the boat, I'm searching for waterfalls, big mountains, wildflowers... always searching - let me know if you find something special to photograph :) I do have a great time photographing people - especially if you want to play outside! Whether it's a glamour shot of yourself, family fun time outside with your kids, your fun engagement photoshoot, an outdoor wedding, a family reunion... you name it, I can do it. I can photograph indoors if you need me to. I have studio equipment that is easy to travel with and setup. I have a Canon 5D Mark III, and I take all Raw images and process each one individually. If you're not happy with your images please let me know, and if you are happy with them, please tell others! . We have a huge selection of Cranberry Coho's cards in stock! We absolutely her photography!
