In this fourth volume of the Artists of British Columbia the works of 38 artists from all across the province are featured. Each one has the opportunity to provide information about themselves and their exhibition history. Some of them use this space to also discuss their approach to their art.

The collection is predominantly paintings but there are a number of other media represented, such as Isabelle Kennedy Proctor's assemblage sculpture or Douglas Beder's photography.

While painting may be the most popular media of choice there is tremendous variety in the approaches. From the luminescent skies of Horseshoe Bay painter, Lil Chrzan's Remains of the Day to another North Shore artist, Nicola Stilwell's Portrait, the techniques and styles of every artist provide stunning works.
