Contemporary art: paintings by Michiko

One of my favourite contemporary painters is Michiko Splinter. She is a friend, too. A longtime oil painter born in Japan, she moved to Squamish in 2005. It changed not only her life, but also her paintings as she began focusing on landscapes. I believe Squamish is a richer place for her way of portraying its beauty.

Michiko continues to push her art and I love her four most recent works. Michiko will participate in a group show in Osaka, Japan, next month. You can also find her work at the Squamish Adventure Centre.
