Intricate Chicago Loop night scenes, watercolours of the pristine Slocan Lake Valley in British Columbia, wood carvings and limited edition fine art prints are all shown at Bonanza Creek Gallery.

Artist Walter Wells studied at The Art Institute of Chicago in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Hillie Wells, proprietor, now shows Walter's life's work in her gallery, located in the thriving arts community of Silverton in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. Hillie and Walter are now also offering a variety of like-new items: microscopes, cameras, artisan-made snow shoes, back packs, bike tents other sporting equipment and more.

The village is situated on the unspoiled shore of Slocan Lake and looks across to the forests of Valhalla Wilderness Park. This beautiful, quiet and clean environment is home to a rich community of artists, writers and musicians and to the Valhalla Summer School of Fine Arts.
