Windswept and mystical, the shores of coastal British Columbia hold boundless inspiration and an enigmatic spiritual presence for many who live along its various coves and inlets. For almost three decades, Carol Evans has been practicing and refining her art, creating stunning portrayals of the beautiful and rugged shores of Vancouver Island and the coastal mainland. Her intensity of colour and attention to the subtleties of light are trademarks of her increasingly popular watercolour paintings.

Evans' new book The Shores We Call Home contains over eighty of her most recent works, collected here in gorgeous full-colour reproductions that faithfully represent the startlingly vivid visions of the original watercolours, capturing the unique character of B.C.'s exquisite shoreline landscape — a place like nowhere else on earth.
