Description

These banners were created by the late Chili Thom and graphic artist Kristen Dillon for the downtown Squamish as street banners. They featured colourful scenery with salmon leaping out of the river and swooping eagles, with mountains and forest in the background.

Chili Thom was one of Canada’s preeminent landscape painters, with over 400 original pieces hanging in collections around the globe. Until his untimely death from cancer in 2016 at age 40, Chili lived in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains and pulled artistic inspiration from his time spent exploring the mountains, forests, and coastline of his home.
