We asked Willow some questions about her studio process and most used materials...
"Often I will use a single paintbrush to paint an entire piece. This means even large blocks of
colour take a long time to finish, however, the repetition and uniformity of brush strokes is an
integral part of my process. My favourite brush type to use is a small flat brush. I find them the
best for crisp edges and pushing paint around."

constantly wiping brushes on myself."

What activities outside of your art practice do you like to enjoy?
"Now the weather is warming up I am getting very excited for camping season. Most of my
pieces are inspired by photos and sketches I have collected while hiking. Some of my favourite
local hiking and camping locations include Blomidon Provincial Park, High Head Trail, and the
Nine Miles River Trails. I am constantly looking for new places to explore."
