Westcoastkitch

Qualicum Beach,  BC 

If you align with a philosophy of sustainability, recycle-reuse-reclaim, then you are going to fall in love with Kent Leontowich from Westcoastkitsch. All of our products are made from our home-based studio in North Qualicum Beach located on beautiful Vancouver Island. His work combines reclaimed wood with painted scenes from Vancouver Island and British Columbia. Materials are of central importance to his work, and are chosen for both their associative meanings and their aesthetic appeal. This approach has to do with a strong environmental ethic as well as the idea of rescuing orphaned items both natural and manmade. His art pieces show a connection to our natural coastal surroundings.
