Christmas In Vancouver

Vancouver Christmas Activities
Christmas in Vancouver is such a magical time. From outdoor ice skating at Robson Square, The Festival of Trees at Fairmont Vancouver, to the Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt Hotel. They provide the perfect memory making experience with family & friends. If you’re finding yourself alone this Christmas perhaps you can utilize a local Facebook community group like this one to find a new friend to join you.

Vancouver Holiday Gift Guide
One of the biggest challenges people face during the holidays when it comes to gift buying, is trying to find gifts of value, meaning, & ones that invoke joy. Gifts that are talked about & cherished for years to come. We know that Christmas isn’t all about gifts & it isn’t about the gift itself. But it’s about the emotion it creates, the memories it provides, & when it’s a gift someone cherishes for years to come, they think of you every time they use their gift, talk about it, remember it (if it was an activity). They hold a space of gratitude for you in their heart. As that’s what Christmas is about, it’s about a time of year where there is an abundance of all these wonderful emotions & energy. Gift giving can play a huge role in that. Have you thought about taking someone on a Whale Watching trip in Vancouver? For adventure animal loving people – it’s a great option. Try the Prince of Whales for your next trip. If you wan to send out some Christmas Cards despite the Canada Post Strike; consider buying from a local artist like Evelyn Skidmore who specializes in stunning & vibrant watercolours. However, if you’d like something truly meaningful what about a luxury photoshoot experience with me? I’d love to talk about how we could create the experience of their dreams. I also offer an extremely unique experience with buying museum quality nature prints from me.
West Coast Nature Art
Together we can create a personalized museum quality gallery of prints for your home. The healing properties of the ancient West Coast forest is so amazing. I offer consultations via Zoom or in-home visits to help clients select the ideal image that reflects the energy they want to bring into their space. During the consultation, I assist in integrating mindset work that connects the chosen image with the emotional and energetic qualities they wish to achieve. The print acts as a daily reminder for grounding mindfulness. Whether they take a few moments to engage with it or simply notice it as they pass by, it inspires them to focus on their hopes, dreams, and affirmations, helping them cultivate an inner space to achieve their goals. This process allows us to create an energetically charged piece of art for their home that brings the powerful grounding energy of nature, into their home. What’s really special about my nature prints is that each image is only printed eight times. Four on a stunning handmade canvas with added texture & four times on a beautiful vibrant metal. Ensuring that my creativity never stops. That I always look further for the hidden beauty of the forest.
