Aura Vanderwal has been gardening and painting since she was young. As the seasons have passed, her talent has grown and has been finely tuned in detail and expression. The love of capturing a moment, feeling, and certain characteristics, brings her portraits to life. Using different mediums, she prefers black watercolor for portraits to showcase the expression best. Her work is in private collections throughout North America. Living in many places in Canada Aura now calls the West Coast of BC home.
