For the past three decades, renowned local watercolour artist M. Morgan Warren has made an in-depth study of the fauna and flora of the region, recording her observations in hundreds of photographs, sketches and notes.
Morgan’s paintings and reproductions can be found in many private collections all over the world, including those of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth ll and HRH, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1996 she was the special guest of the DeYoung Museum of Fine Arts in San Francisco where she demonstrated the techniques of John James Audubon for visitors to the national Audubon Birds of America Exhibition. Her works have also been featured by Save the Children Fund Christmas cards, the international Sierra Club Foundation and Ducks Unlimited.
Best known for her highly detailed realistic watercolours of the creatures of North America and Great Britain, she strives to give the viewers of her work a special glimpse into the hidden lives of her subjects. Morgan's second book, "Nature on the Threshold", describes and illustrates her experiences and observations of the wild creatures and plants in the area around her Canoe Cove studio over the course of a year, and will be released later this month.
Framed and unframed prints available.

POP QUIZZ: what do James Taylor, Cat Stevens, John Fogarty and Van Morrison all have in common? OK, yeah - that too, but more importantly they all wrote songs that Jeff Stevenson plays! Coincidence? We invite you to come and judge for yourself!

Lap-style slide guitarist Sue Decker's musical inspiration is just as likely to be found in Rumi’s poetry, an Emily Carr painting or on a Bessie Smith record. In other words, it's an evening of musical potpourri: from grits to crème brûlée it's all delicious!
