    The view from my bed right now...

    FYI, I'm actively looking for local (Canadian), cultural (BIPOC) and/or women-created art to hang behind this chair. OMG, if it's all three in one fairly large piece, I'd flip!! I'm open to any suggestions as long as it does NOT include images of people, faces, animals or geographical locations. And, I'm also open to originals as well as repros. So far, I like this 18"x24" one from Catharine Lavoie.

    Have you considered Marcelle Ferron or Emily Carr? There are some great indigenous artists here on the west coast but they tend to have animals so I’m guessing they are out. Beautiful space, @MaltedTea.

    Oh, I never heard of Ferron before. Plus, she was from Quebec too! 😍 For Group Of Seven artists, I automatically think landscape/geographical stuff. I'll focus specifically on Carr and see if I like something. Thank you!

    @MaltedTea I don't know anything about Canadian art, but your post inspired me to search online for Canadian indigenous artists while wide awake in bed from 3-5 a.m. I think these are pretty established artists whose works are pricey, but I liked a couple of pieces by Jordan Bennett https://www.jordanbennett.ca/paintinginexhibit and I LOVE Jane Ash Poitras http://www.artnet.com/artists/jane-ash-poitras/

    (Though many of the Poitras pieces I like do include people and places)

    http://www.spiritwrestler.com/catalog/index.php?artists_id=58

    I found a lot of other great art by indigenous artists through this search. Thank you!

    @aChuisle_moChroi Oh my, I hope you ended up sleeping properly.

    These are wonderful finds though; thank YOU!! The Poitras one is too red for me but her style is right up my alley.

    Art truly is life.

    My vacations never feel complete if I don't write sweetpea on the sand. This was done in Michigan a few weeks ago.

    @sweet_ermengarde Drowning in beauty right now. Thank you for the name! I'm sure anything I get from her will remind me of my trip to Japan several years ago.
