Arbutus Arts
It was Hornby Island's quiet atmosphere that drew Nicki Johansen and her family here in 1979. The winding roads, small holdings, lush countryside and absence of traffic lights reminds her of rural England, where she lived until 1963, before settling in Coquitlam, BC. Having a lifelong interest in art and a previous art supply business in the Lower Mainland, Nicki found the opportunity to open Arbutus Arts a natural progression.
