“Beyond The Surface”
by Autumn Skye Morrison

“I paint in celebration of this fantastic adventure.

I paint to inspire, and to be inspired.

Each canvas takes me on a journey, and as my paintbrush

follows, each time I am lead back to my center.

My art is a mirror, a reflection of our light and shadow,

our feminine essence, and our ancient divinity.”

Born in Nova Scotia in 1983, Autumn Skye moved West with her family across Canada. She spent her youth between the majesty of the Rocky Mountains with her Father, and the lush coastal rainforests with her Mother. Autumn Skye has been painting since she was old enough to hold a brush, developing a deep wonder for nature and the world around her.

After much time spent waitressing, painting movie sets, owning a restaurant, and traveling the World, Autumn Skye now lives and paints on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. She considers herself among the blessed of the blessed.
