Canadian Jessie Lozanski thru-hiked the PCT in 2019, and interpreted some of her favorite scenes in these oil paintings. Seeing the trail in a different medium than photography conveys a vivid, textural sense that can remind us of the sharp edges, the light, and the heat of the trail. Jessie, now in Canada, thru-hiked with her boyfriend from New Hampshire, and has been separated from her American friends and family by the pandemic. We wish her well—and everyone who feels farther away from friends and family during these challenging times. Be sure to click each image to view a larger version. The image captions are by the artist.
