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.

When temperatures drop, warm up from the inside out with a delicious, healthy bowl of home-made soup! My Red Pepper Winter Soup is oh-so-simple to make and fills you up with yummy goodness!
Saute garlic cloves and onions in olive oil until soft. Drain chick peas and combine remainder of ingredients in the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Blend preferrably with a hand mixer and serve hot.
Makes 4 generous bowls.

Matt & Nat Faux Leather Feutre ‘Jorja’
This vegan handbag has everything a busy gal, but not too busy to care, needs. With pockets galore, a separate compartment for your communication device, and a detachable key chain, (to avoid the awkward fumbling around in moments of passion - the goodnight kiss continues), it lends itself to function without sacrificing fashion. Made from 100% recycled material, the faux grey suede with grey whip stitch, plaid lining, coffee Japanese Paper trims, and copper hardware make this bag uber luxe.
For work or play - we say hooray!
PETA awarded Matt & Nat a “Proggy Award” in 2005 for the best cruelty-free handbag collection.
