Alana is a West Coast native, having raised her children on the Lower Mainland and she now resides on the rolling mountainside of Departure Bay, Nanaimo, tucked beneath the peaked roof of a newly renovated A-frame home. On any given day, Alana can be found teasing a new canvas to life in her studio that faces southern skies or plying the beaches of the Salish Sea for inspiration, enjoying the endless laughter of the surf.
