“Mom – Tahsis is the most beautiful place in the world” –
Seth Goossens (Sue's son)
Seth was working in Tahsis this past spring which presented Sue and friend, Rhonda, with a perfect
opportunity for a visit and a chance to collect reference material . The village of Tahsis is rather remote but well
worth the three hour drive from the airport in Campbell River.
‘The mountains are everywhere but not as massive as the BC
mainland. And the mist….. I found it captivating. “
Sue was led through old growth forest, around lakes, and
along river banks. The tree planting
boat was use to explore Nootka Sound all the way to Zeballos, an old lumber
town. It was impossible not to be
inspired.
“I have started my artistic exploration of Tahsis with a
collection of watercolours featuring some of my favourite subject matter – mist
and waterfalls. I am extremely motivated
to paint every time I review my 500 photos so there will be many more works to
be generated.”
