The day after my Convocation at UBC Vancouver, I stopped into Nordstrom on a walk towards Gastown. 

I wanted to see the store because we don't have one in Toronto yet. The store is beautiful, but I was delighted to discover original Canadian art works included in the collection that was hung throughout the store. Here are a few of the pieces. 

Jonathan Forrest—Saskatoon, Saskatchewan "Stepping Out" Acrylic on Canvas 2014

Peter Hoffer—Brantford, Ontario "Frontiere I, II and III" Mixed Media on Canvas (one of three double panels) 

Yechel Gagnon—Montreal, Quebec "Untitled" Carved Custom-made Plywood 2015

Natures Best—gift from UBC, Vancouver to the graduates to commemorate their Centennial Convocation 2016
