House of Alaia Tofino is proud to feature the amazing work by Whistler artist Chili Thom for the month of June. Being born and raised in British Columbia, Chili has spent years exploring the wilderness and the beautiful natural landscapes of BC where he seeks most of his inspiration from. Working mainly with acrylic paints, Chili's work has a distinct flare to it accomplished by using linear brush strokes, unique perspectives and saturated colours. When viewing Chili's work, the beautiful colours, three dimensional shapes and natural elements evoke a feeling of actually being "there". </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
See more of Chili's work at <a href="http://www.chilithom.com/" target="_blank">www.chilithom.com</a> or swing by the gallery at 461 Main Street, Tofino BC and check them out for yourself! </div>

Christy Feaver, designer and co-owner of House of Alaia has spearheaded the project with the vision to create a space similar to the already established House of Alaia School of Creative Arts in Bali, Indonesia. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The school will offer a wide variety of classes in jewelry making and art to people of all ages and skill levels backing the school's philosophy that <em>"A lesson in art and culture is an eternal gift and shared happiness"</em>. Catering to both visitors of Tofino and locals, the House of Alaia school will host artistic workshops and events that will contribute to the West coast culture and artistic character of the town of Tofino. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The flagship store will be stocked with all the designs from Christy Feaver's personal contemporary jewelry collection Christy Feaver Modern Metalwork as well as House of Alaia Jewelry owned by Christy and co-owner and designer Nea Hildebolt. Aiming to support the talents of local artisans, the House of Alaia will also be home to a gallery space that shelves the creations of local small business business's and designers. Christy is currently seeking out artists that will contribute to the unique aesthetic of House of Alaia. Interested applicants please email </span><a href="mailto:christyfeaver@gmail.com"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">christyfeaver@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether a Tofino local or visiting for the weekend The House of Alaia will be a creative haven that will welcome people in to become inspired and reconnect them with the West coast. </span><br />
<br />
