Meet Hayley Stewart - the first artist from our Local Artist Series FW23
For our Local Artist Series FW23, we’ve brought together three talented local artists: Hayley Stewart, Nikki Frumkin, and Pat Milbery. Even though all of them are inspired by the outdoors, their art styles are totally unique, creative, and different from one another. We’ve got ten beautiful, vibrant, alpine-inspired gogglesocs that you can choose from. Channel your inner artist and let your creativity decide what’s uniquely yours.
Today, we want to introduce you to Hayley Stewart, born and raised an Ontarian. She attended Fine Arts at OCAD in Toronto. After moving out West in 2007, lured first by the ocean to Tofino, and then by the mountains to Interior British Columbia, Hayley has developed “an artistic voice that’s more synchronized with the nature world”. As an outdoor enthusiast and an adrenaline junkie just like many of us here, Hayley loves snowboarding, dirt biking, hiking, paddle boarding, and most recently, kiteboarding.
Mountains especially bring Hayley an abundance of inspiration and joy. Experiencing the sublimity of the mountains has changed “not only the trajectory of her artwork but also her career, and ultimately her life”. From the unreal meadows of McCrae Peak in Revelstoke to the stunning season shoulder alpine of Alaska, she has uniquely captured the beauty of creation with a multitude of hues and brush strokes. In this Local Artist Collection, Hayley has taken her creative perspective and never-ending love for nature to create four amazing and vibrant goggle covers.
Through Hayley’s artwork, not only do we see her talent and creativity, but also her gratefulness for the beautiful world we live in - “I want to transport the viewers in both ultimate and grand scale. I want my artwork to invoke the feeling of happiness and ultimately encourage the viewers to preserve and protect the environment we inhabit.”
Protect your goggles and show Hayley some love by supporting the Local Artist Series!
