About the author

The mountains were calling! Abby Wilson moved to the West Kootenay in 2016 and started a hiking blog. The blog grew into a popular website, and Abby brought her tech background into developing the website into the main hiking trail resource for our region. 

Hiking fuels Abby’s main passion—painting West Kootenay landscapes! She uses her treks to gather reference photos and sketchers, capturing the mountains with bright, bold acrylic landscapes. Abby’s work explores how geometry aligns with geology, emphasising the shapes found in the natural landscape in a graphic style.

Abby lives with her husband Andrew and young family in Nelson, BC.
