In 1988, Chris Czajkowski walked into British Columbia’s Central Coast Mountains to build a homestead, a business, and a life. A Mountain Year is a beautifully produced art book full of original paintings, sketches and diary entries, offering an awe-inspiring glimpse into the life of this independent spirit and the landscape that she calls home.

In this illustrated journal, Czajkowski intimately describes the splendour of seasonal transformation along with her trademark expressiveness; every day brings new obstacles and surprising revelations. At first of the year, she writes, “The night used to be bright with a silvery soup of moonlight refracted off snowflakes fine as stardust.” Spring arrives with breathtaking beauty and summer brings company from in a foreign country. Within the fall, Chris travels back to her first autumn at Nuk Tessli when she views “an extraordinarily beautiful moment. The clouds hung low enough to just about touch the water . . . and an attractive, bluish, pearly luminescence covered the whole thing.” Prepare to witness the magnificence of a year in British Columbia’s high-altitude wilderness, a spot of astounding natural beauty like no other.
