The Executive Suites Squamish Art Program has enabled us to carefully curate a customized art program for our guests’ enjoyment. We invite you to explore the hotel’s common areas and enjoy our collection.
Below is a description of our featured artists.
Desirée Patterson’s work is more than just visually striking – it carries a message. Through photography and digital manipulation, she creates breathtaking compositions that explore the delicate relationship between humanity and nature.
Her art captures both the beauty of the world and the urgency of protecting it, offering collectors more than just an image – it’s a statement, a conversation, and a reflection of the times we live in.
Mathias Horne is a Canadian wildlife painter from Squamish, British Columbia, whose passion for nature extends beyond traditional painting to include science communication, conservation, and philanthropy.
By partnering with wildlife photographers, National Geographic Explorers, scientists, and organizations, Mathias forms projects reflecting the anatomical and behavioural realities of the species he is depicting. These partnerships and projects offer audiences immersive intersections of fine art and scientific understandings while directly impacting biodiversity protection.
Andy Anissimoff originally trained as an Industrial Designer, graduating with a specialty in Automotive Design from Humber College in Toronto in 2002. In 2005, he settled in Squamish, British Columbia, to pursue a life in the mountains.
The area inspired Anissimoff to commit to developing his creative side to its fullest and become a dedicated full-time artist. He has built his business around personally sharing his creations with people from all over the world.
Born in 1949, Hank Bull travelled to Europe in 1968, studying under Robert Markle and Nobuo Kubota at the New School of Art in Toronto, joining Vancouver’s Western Front in 1973. A multi-faceted artist, Bull is recognized as an innovator in radio, telecommunications, performance and social practices.
As curator, administrator and advocate, Bull has participated in the development of artist-run culture in Canada and abroad, producing numerous international projects. In 1999, he co-founded Centre A, the Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. His personal art practice takes place at the intersection of painting, performance, video and sound.
Our collection also includes the pieces Bank, Sutras, and Old Growth. Together, these works read as a small library carved out of the woods—books that were never written because they were never cut open.
Natural Language is a box of twenty-six postcards, one for each letter of the alphabet. The letters were found inscribed in the branches of trees in the forest. It took years of intermittent searching to find and photograph all twenty-six. The letters were then edited in Photoshop. Each card has a short text on the back. They can be used to make words or poems, play games, and tell fortunes.
Bull’s work has been included in the Venice Biennale and Documenta and can be found in museum collections including the National Gallery of Canada, the MoMA, Confederation Centre Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and Ludwig Museum.
