鈥淭his is the second piece in a series honouring our fragile ecosystems. In Ancient Cedar Forest, I imagined painting the sounds, smells, and movement of our trees and wildlife. I draw inspiration from the deep lines of growth and regrowth within these icons,鈥� said artist Lynda Glover about her painting.
