David Ellingsen is an internationally recognized photo-based artist who grew up on Cortes Island.
“As a youngster on Cortes Island, in Canada’s Pacific Northwest, I walked daily through the woods to catch the school bus, passing by remnants of the old-growth forest. These giant looming stumps, peering through the second-growth trees as far as I could see, seemed an ominous presence. They have always remained in my memory.” – David Ellingsen
