Lorna Dockstader
Inspired by her surroundings, but portraying them in her own style, Lorna Dockstader transports us to our memories of favorite places.
“Except for a few people surfing, we were the only ones walking along Chesterman Beach. I was taking photos under a grey sky with a drizzle of rain. The only sounds were those of the gulls, and the huge waves crashing against the rocks. I could almost see a sea stack in the opposite direction. Most of it was obscured by mist. I thought about the challenge of inventing the colours I couldn’t see. Colours that captured the many moods of that day. Sea glass blues, crisp clean surf, charcoal greys and navy. The lights, the darks, the rhythms, the mystery of it all. So exhilarating!” – Lorna Dockstader
