from CA$48.00

Artist Statement

“When I saw a National Geographic article on island wolves of the far Northwest, I was captivated to see wolves on the beach. Then Cheryl Alexander’s extraordinary photos of the lone wolf, Takaya, completely inspired me; she gave us a sense of him, and my heart broke when he died. One image of Cheryl’s with Takaya looking over the Salish Sea towards city lights caught everything I’m trying to say in my paintings. My version changes it to our local landscape, but keeps the heart of it, the view from his perspective, nature looking back at us.”

Artist Bio

Regina is a painter living in far Northern California, the beginning of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Her work has always been focused on the human/wildlife connection but with more urgency when she became aware of the plight of tigers in the wild in the 80’s. She wanted to help people see home as more than four walls, expanding to all life on the planet. Her interest has been domestic interiors and their relationship to the wild spaces outside the windows and doors. She is pulled to keep returning to this combination of human space with animals and wild landscape, in some manner defining our connection to the land, interweaving the astounding wild planet with the warm personal space of home.
