Temperate rain forests, beaches, grasslands, wetlands, and plateaus stretch out across its varied canvas; rivers spill through canyons, past towering mountains, and into woodlands.

Who better to portray this region of beauty, bounty, and bravado than the painters and sculptors who call it home? In the following pages, discover fine artists who live in the Pacific Northwest.
