Notes from the Wildwood is created by a real human, me, - one letter and painting at a time.
I’m Heather, an artist and lover of nature living in the forest on Vancouver Island in Canada.
I’m enchanted by the little things like moss, bits of frost on a rock, a busy beetle, or a wildflower on the forest floor.
I’m in awe of the big things, like the power of the rushing Cowichan River or the vast Maple leaf canopy overhead.
This project is a way of sharing this wonder with others.
