Lil Chrzan is a Canadian Landscape painter that is known for her masterful depictions of golden light across luminous West Coast scenes. Viewers are invited to enter her world and experience a sense of calm transcendence when viewing the dramatic light-filled paintings.
For the past 26 years Chrzan has lived and worked in the seaside village of Horseshoe Bay , British Columbia. Paintings about Nature and wilderness have a long history in the culture of the West Coast where the identity of the region and its inhabitants is so closely tied to the spectacular landscape. Chrzan’s paintings are an important and timely contribution to the discourse about the cultural values of the region in which she works , and always a personal and emotional connection with nature.
Chrzan’s paintings are not intended to be direct representation of nature but rather a process of extracting the most essential elements of a scene.
