Coral Barclay was born in 1959. Her family lived in a cabin by the ocean near the beachside town of Lanztville on Vancouver Island. Here she had endless time and opportunities to experience and observe the wonder, wildness of sand, sea and sky. Expanses of beach and windswept skies set the mood for her large acrylic paintings on canvas. Her recent move to beautiful Hornby Island after fifteen years of living in Vancouver is a wonderful rediscovery of country island living.
