Boathouse in North Vancouver by Port Coquitlam's Michael King.

Boathouse in North Vancouver is a painting by Port Coquitlam artist Michael King, the founder of PleinAirBC.com and an associate member of the Oil Painters of America.

Trained in industrial design at Carleton University in Ottawa, King teaches workshops on how to create fine art in a “straightforward, accessible manner.”

His work appears in private collections around the world and, in 2015, he presented a portrait of then Port Coquitlam mayor Greg Moore at the first city council meeting of the year.

Feb. 26, King will talk about his art and show his skills at the monthly Art Focus Artists Association demo.

The free event, which is open to the public, starts at 7 p.m. in The Outlet at Leigh Square (behind PoCo city hall).
