Crystalynn is an artist and art instructor living in Prince George, British Columbia. She began her career painting in acrylics but with the desire for treading lightly on the land she has recently shifted from purchasing her medium to creating her own from the soils she collects from around her home and in her travels. The pigments extracted from these soil samples brings her passion for the outdoors directly onto her paintings. The works tell a story with both the artist and the earth being the story tellers. Together they seek to express memories, both fleeting and lasting; yet the stories are united by the wonder of the land’s existence, creation, provision and its need for conservation.
