Sheila Karrow
Award-winning artist and teacher Sheila Karrow lives with her two children on Haida Gwaii in British Columbia. After completing a degree in fine art and education, Sheila spent several years teaching high school visual art and English. After ten years of full-time art making, Sheila earned a masters degree in art education and is currently teaching in the school district where she continues to share her passion for imaginative learning with young children and adults.
Sheila’s paintings communicate both a literal and metaphorical understanding of the natural world. She strives for an intimate connection with the subject yet also reveals the unknowable reality of such a form. Her carefully rendered images in acrylic and watercolour reveal the intensity and interconnectedness of life.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
