Oil on canvas

Green Fee is inspired by the Cable Bay Trail in Snuneymuxw First Nations/Nanaimo, B.C. that is being developed into the city’s seventh golf course. When completed, the golf course will be one of over forty golf courses on Vancouver Island. At the time of writing this, development on the trail is already underway, despite the efforts of a local petition signed by 18,436 people. This painting, called Green Fee, in reference to golf course and clubhouse memberships, is a love letter to the land untouched by industrial development and is a reflection on land consumption in our region.
