Mary Rose Drescher is a Bowen Island artist with a background in fine arts and architecture. She has earned a BFA from Mt Allison University in New Brunswick and an M.Arch from UBC.

Her inspirations come from having spent countless hours walking the trails and being immersed in the natural world of Bowen Island with her two children and dog. Every day she sees something new and breathtaking out there to inspire her work, be it the fog on the mountains in the rain or the smokey sunsets across the water in the summer.

Her focus at the moment is painting these local island landscape scenes and sharing some of the wonder she experiences daily on this beautiful island.
