Many of K.C. Turnbull‘s most cherished memories have been shaped by adventures in the wild, and fishing alongside family and friends on streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans.

She is drawn to both the action and intellect of the sport, the thrill of casting into moving water, the trust in life beneath the surface, and the intricate entomology, habitat, and stewardship that sustain aquatic ecosystems.

Within these paintings, the Fish become a symbol of nourishment, patience, humility, resilience, and abundance. They are ornamental, luminous and rendered through experience, movement, and layered form. Each work invites reflection and wonder, and a connection to the unseen forces that shape our lives.

For Turnbull, it is the Fish that continues to lead her toward depths she could never imagine otherwise.
