Tree Drops

About

Tofino based artist, Mei, has been creating unique expressions of art since 2015. Self taught, she discovered a unique painting process that is reminiscent of cloud gazing and inspired by her wild imagination. After dropping a multitude of watercolors onto paper, she lets them dry as shapes and images reveal themselves to her. Trusting the process, she then traces the images and creatures, which create one-of-a-kind illustrations. Just as each painting evolves and expresses her current state of mind, she hopes viewers will find their own unique story reflected. In addition to her watercolor illustrations, Mei weaves nature into her art by working with locally sourced Vancouver Island wood and wild flowers from Tofino crafting exquisite botanical pieces. Through *Sacred Blossoms*, she transforms hand-selected wedding bouquet flowers into works of art, pressed into local wood. These bespoke creations serve as elegant wall décor, striking table centerpieces, delicate hanging mobiles, or one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces—each preserving the beauty of a wedding bouquet in a timeless and uniquely personal way.
