Michel Des Rochers, painting, Sooke Harbour House art gallery

Michel Des Rochers is an accomplished artist who has travelled widely, lived abroad and exhibited extensively. For the past 35 years, he has created paintings in a variety of media: oils, pastels and watercolours. Many of these works have been purchased by private collectors, as well as various municipalities, businesses and museums, such as the Royal Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. While living in France, Michel took part in many group exhibitions and also enjoyed several successful one-man shows. In 1987, Michel returned to Canada and continued painting, gaining even more extensive recognition. One of his images, "The Logger", was recently selected by the Canadian Museum of Civilization as a backdrop in its permanent West Coast exhibition. Michel and his wife, Marion, own their own fine art gallery in Sooke.
