Quick painting study from a mentorship class I am taking with Stephanie Gauvin. Whenever I am feeling stuck with my work, it’s time to take a workshop! #canadianartist #landscapeart

Received a thoughtful review this weekend!🥹 "I am in love with "Silent Pass"...and the reactions of those who see it are anything but silent! Abby Wilson has captured the sublime geometry of nature and the powerful emotions felt when one is witness to its beauty."

“Tumbling Glacier” found a home this winter. Always grateful when someone picks my work for their space. ❤️

Inspired by an evening stroll along Kootenay Lake as the sun kissed the mountain peaks with golden light. This piece has soft, dreamy colours and brings a sense of calm to any space. "Lockhart Beach" from 2024

Started this painting as a demo for a high school class. It was so fun to come back and see all the student’s interpretations on the walls! We were working on supporting bright yellow larches and they nailed it! #canadianartist #landscapepainting

This was an experimental painting that didn’t make it off the easel. I was playing with using raw canvas and acrylic washes for watercolour-like effects. Some of the ideas have stuck around in my studio work though! Always worth taking time to experiment!

Three of my most popular bandana designs! Do you recognize the wildflowers? I’m waiting for samples to come in from a Canadian company to see if I can switch manufacturers this year. 90% of my customers are in Canada. 🇨🇦

Someone refused to buy my book because my website runs on Shopify. It's a Canadian company but the CEO has said some troubling things. 🫣 What's a small business to do? #shopify #buycanadian

Someone asked me during a media interview today what my “job-job” is, besides writing hiking books. I got to admit that I’m also an artist. 😆 🎨 What’s your job-job?

One of my favourite paintings from 2024! It’s based on a local peak but remixed with descriptions of the Lonely Mountain. ⛰️ It was part of a series I did exploring how local landmarks cross over with Middle Earth. 🧙‍♂️ #lotr #tolkein #hobbit

One of the weirdest and coolest things I put my art on in 2024 were Kula Cloths. Have you heard of these? Great for backpacking!
