    RIKA at The Beaumont
    FEBRUARY 13th - MARCH 31st

    RIKA: This collection focuses on the Coast of the Pacific Northwest and features highly stylized Oceanscapes that are boldly brushed & ornately detailed. Rika uses dark, broad sweeping lines to express the ocean's power and movement which are contrasted by the bright gold leaf that adorns the surfaces. He relies on the natural tendencies of watercolors to create the moody stormy skies most often seen in these West Coast seas.

    To complete and compliment these pieces, Rika has collaborated with furniture designer and frame worker Tyler J. Harris of Happy Valley Wood. Tyler has hand crafted one-of-a-kind cedar wood frames from local B.C reclaimed cedar driftwood.

    All mediums and material are organic and respectful of the environment.
