TOWARDS LIGHT richly redefines the way we experience the scenic beauty of British Columbia. With each magical painting, artist Lil Chrzan informs the viewer that a landscape is not just about clouds and trees but rather the subtle quality of light and shadow in the spaces between.

This book will captivate collectors and fans of Lil Chrzan's work and lovers of the Canadian landscape. Thanks to Lil you will never again look at a landscape the same way.

-Vicki Smith, Artist

LIL CHRZAN is a Canadian Landscape painter known for her masterful depictions of golden light across luminous West Coast scenes. Viewers invited into her world experience a sense of calm transcendence when taking in the dramatic light-filled paintings.

Chrzan's paintings are not intended to be direct representations of nature, but rather a process of extracting the most essential elements in a scene. Her careful brushwork and critical awareness of humanity in relation to nature sets the scene for her own signature style and vision. These works hum with intensity while offering the viewer contemplative calmness.

This body of work features more than eighty-five reproductions of Chrzan's most outstanding landscape paintings as well as an essay by Dr. Michael Thoma, School of Motion Picture Arts, Capilano University.
