Featured Artsist: Chili Thom

House of Alaia Tofino is proud to feature the amazing work by Whistler artist Chili Thom for the month of June.  Being born and raised in British Columbia, Chili has spent years exploring the wilderness and the beautiful natural landscapes of BC where he seeks most of his inspiration from.  Working mainly with acrylic paints, Chili's work has a distinct flare to it accomplished by using linear brush strokes, unique perspectives and saturated colours.  When viewing Chili's work, the beautiful colours, three dimensional shapes and natural elements evoke a feeling of actually being "there".
 
See more of Chili's work at www.chilithom.com or swing by the gallery at 461 Main Street, Tofino BC and check them out for yourself!
