Alane Lalonde has been a Saltspring Island resident for 45 years, living in British Columbia, Canada and has travelled extensively throughout Europe and the Far East. Her passion for photography began when she became an avid gardener.
Travelling throughout Britain gave her the love of shooting architecture.
Over the years, she has participated in numerous photographic workshops and has successfully maintained her creativity through her art of seeing.
Her work has been shown at the Photosynthesis Photography show at Artspring for the past 19 years and the Sooke fine arts show.
For the past 27 years she has been exploring Mexico, mesmerized with its colorful culture and warm-hearted people.
“I continue to use my travels as my inspiration. Travel is in my blood. I get so excited as soon as I get off of a plane and feel that warmth and see the vibrant colors come to play as I arrive in Mexico. This year my work is from places in Mexico that I love to visit.”
