Painting of Freighter off Northwest BC Coast

Freighter, Summer Evening
Acrylic on Canvas, 73 x 40

"Like anthems and intonations, these images of boats, trains and freighters move through the coastal light and space, arousing the inner eye and inner ear. Might these be acceptable as metaphors for time and passage as much as a reflection of what can be seen? We pray that, slowly, frozen conceptions that lock us in the past melt under the warm gaze of the curious, innocent and wise."

Edward Epp, January 2003
Prince Rupert, B.C.

Edward Epp on the Shore of the Skeena

Edward is known for his 'plein air' painting. He works on several paintings at a time outside in the elements. Often the rain and wind contribute to the creation of his work.


The Northwest BC landscape that Edward paints

"Perched on the frail edge of the land, blasted by violent southeast gales, occasionally clouds lift, and we view a sublime panorama. Green and blue mountains are penetrated by grey waters, highways of commerce and trade which spread to the infinite Orient."

-Edward Epp
