Art Of Gardening: Goya Ngan

Описание: Gardening on Hornby Island has always been a big part of peoples' lives and the culture of being in nature. From ornamental gardens to food forests, Hornby residents do it all. They also love sharing the joy their garden brings which is why we decided to showcase a handful of gardens in 2021 as a response to access limitations due to COVID-19.

Goya Ngan is a photographer based in Vancouver, BC. Her practice centres around plants and gardens and is influenced by her 25 years spent working as a landscape architect. Ngan often approaches her subjects with a macro lens, and the mind of a naturalist. On Hornby Island, she maintains a large garden and co-manages the estate of Wayne Ngan.

Ngan holds a Bachelor’s degree of Landscape Architecture from UBC, and has worked in Vancouver, Munich, Halle, and Saskatoon. Ngan’s photography has been shown at the Capture Photography Festival (Vancouver).
