Artist Statement

“A Fisherman’s Dream” is a representation of the vibrant fishing industry at Steveston and hopes to inspire

a spirit of discovery and an appreciation of nature. The artwork explores key species in today’s local fisheries

while paying homage to the glory days of fishing represented by the silhouetted Gulf of Georgia cannery on

the horizon. The artwork depicts a fisherman at sea contemplating the future of the fishing industry as he

gazes into the classic West coast golden hour sunset, which remains a timeless spectacle for all to admire.
