I have recently returned the Cariboo and I look forward to building my practice. During my schooling, I provided treatments for a variety of conditions, from neurological origins, pre/post-orthopedic surgery, to working with pediatrics, the elderly and athletes. I enjoy helping my clients through assessment and modifying treatment plans to their individual needs using neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, myofascial release, Swedish massage, joint mobilizations and muscle energy techniques. I always offer suggestions for remedial exercises and hydrotherapy as home care. In the future, I plan to further my knowledge in visceral manipulation and myofascial release techniques.

Built by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway in late 1919, the Station House, is Williams Lake’s oldest building and has always served as a centre of activity for the community. Over the years it has been a meeting place for civic, schooI boards and other groups. In the 60’s and 70’s the building fell into a state of disrepair, a bit of an eyesore in fact. A group of concerned citizens formed a Society to preserve it and that group, seeing the need for a cultural centre formally became the Station House Studio & Gallery Society in 1981. Since that time it has again become a place to see old friends and enjoy conversations about the town’s goings on.
The building still has its original wood floors, passenger waiting room bench and blueprints are proudly displayed in the stairwell to the upper gallery.
In 2019 the Station House celebrates 100 years of serving the community.
Following a storage problem at the Station House Gallery & Gift Shop, led Diane and then board members to an artistic and historical solution. The gallery uses a lot of wooden shelving units, tables, and plinths that needed a home on the ground floor. The building at #1 McKenzie Ave. N. is an historical building that can’t have major alterations so after a lot of discussion a storage unit was purchased. Diane described her vision to Brandy Stecyk, one of the board members, who created a mock up, and the project to beautify the storage container was launched. Diane, with support from the board, carefully chose people with connections to the building itself and to the arts community in the Cariboo to be depicted in the mural. The mural depicts Libby Abbot, a resident of the Station House in its early days, holding a bucket used for whitewashing the building – her mother’s job. Libby went on to work in the Station House Gallery’s gift shop. Vivien Cowen, the woman with the sketch pad, along with her daughters Sania Cornwall and Dru Hodgson were some of the movers and shakers behind the beginnings of the Cariboo Art Society and the Station House Gallery.
The seated man is George Keener, a well-known member of the community and long time director with the Cariboo Friendship Society. He was also involved with the Williams Lake stockyards for more than fifty years.
Standing on the left is Vivienne Dandridge Lanford, who came by train to teach at the Chimney Valley School in the late 1940’s. She was part of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and is shown in her uniform. She was a member and supporter of the gallery.
The mural was brought to life thanks to the planning, design, and artistic talents of Brandy Stecyk and Dwayne Davis, in the fall of 2021.

About:
Communities in Bloom asked Dwayne to paint a ranch scene, and he wanted to depict an old-fashioned branding. Dwayne painted from photos he’d taken years ago at a Dorsey Ranch branding. The scene reminds him of Texas Fosbery’s Ranch, by Lee’s Corner out west, a place Dwayne spent a lot of time as a child. Dwayne says if it weren’t for his first horse Knothead, an $85 gift from his father, he would have been a cowboy. Fortunately for us, Knothead lived up to his name and Dwayne got so frustrated with the horse that he chose a career in the arts instead. Dwayne says these days only the small ranches brand like this and that, for the most part, the whole branding culture is gone. The modern ranches tag their cattle on the ear. This ranch scene is inspired by the Dorsey Ranch by Anahim Lake in Tsilhqot’in territory “out west” along highway 20. An old fashioned “branding” is taking place, where cowboys heat the branding irons in the fire and seer the cattle in the spring. The boy sitting on the back of the truck is Dwayne as a child, enjoying the company of a ranch hand he remembers that always found time to play guitar and tell stories when there was fencing work to be done.
Artistic Notes:
The texture and shape of the wall dictated the mural design. On the left where the wall is high subjects are close to life-sized. On the right, where the wall is shorter, subjects are receding into the distance. Dwayne and Steven spent a lot of time painting the ranch’s ground, working to achieve the illusion of it falling back. The wall had been freshly stuccoed which made painting in textures quite challenging. Dwayne’s son Steven helped by painting the trees and the ground.

Artist: Dwayne Davis, 2004
Funded by: The Williams Lake Tribune
About:
Clive and Irene Stangoe purchased Williams Lake The Tribune from George Renner in 1950 and published the paper for the next two decades from the lower floor of their home situated on Oliver Street. Clive was the publisher and Irene was the community editor. In 1973 The Black family bought The Tribune and moved it to its current location on 1st Ave. North. The Williams Lake Tribune was the first paper purchased by the now huge community newspaper chain Black Press. The cowboy silhouette is from the Tribune Paper’s logo. The Tribune wanted its original location, the Stangoe home, painted in the mural along with cows to symbolize Williams Lake’s western culture. Dwayne pulled the 75th issue of the paper and combined the real content of that issue with his made-up story about Communities in Bloom – a tip-of-the-hat to the organization that initiated the mural program.
Artistic Notes:
The first challenge with this wall was the vent that spewed out black residue. Dwayne decided to cover the vent with the dark figure in silhouette. His next challenge was to make the mural both nostalgic and modern. He achieved this by painting the old Tribune building in a realistic style, and painting a larger-than-life paper sporting a 3D page curl. Dwayne had help from his son Steven who painted the cows, trees, and the silhouette.

Painted in 2023 by Tiffany Jorgensen and Sarah Sigurdson of Cariboo Art Beat, Unbreakable was designed to represent the culture of Williams Lake. This mural pays homage to the business that has made it’s home at 48 Yorston Street for many years, as well as to our World Famous Williams Lake Stampede. The mural was painted with an air of realism, showcasing our cityscape as the background. Jorgensen commented that the mural depicts the essence of Williams Lake being rooted in tradition, while simutanously breaking through as new and exciting. For her, it holds a true feel of Williams Lake – familiar, beautiful, evolving, and a powerful yet natural presence. This mural was funded by Public Art Grants from Downtown Williams Lake BIA and City of Williams Lake, and by Stampede Glass.

About:
This garden scene was inspired by one of Dwayne’s earliest trips to the coast where he saw Bouchard Gardens for the first time. Those early memories, combined with input from Communities in Bloom, gave rise to the sanctuary now depicted on the wall. A garden scene from the Artist’s imagination.
Artistic Notes:
The mural was originally planned with a border all the way around, but it was a challenge to create the illusion of the brick receding back towards the painted gazebo. Dwayne achieved the “walk in” feel by extending the painted brick outside the border to the bottom of the wall, where the painting now touches the real parking lot cement. The painting is done in an impressionist style, with details blurred, and is meant to be gazed at from a distance. Artist Lee Sollenberger and friend Darren Thompson worked with Dwayne on this mural. Darren painted the black border surrounding the picture and learned to paint flowers. The three had a great time working on the mural together and Dwayne says that to date, this mural was the most fun to paint.

About:
Initially, this mural met with some resistance from the Firehall. The Fire Chief thought the mural would be flowers and he wanted none of it. Half way through the mural creation, the firemen decided they liked it. When the mural was completed they all posed proudly for a picture in front of it. The firefighters were later inspired to paint the door in the wall red to match the mural. It is fitting that the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society now inhabits this building and its past use as a firehall will not be forgotten thanks to Dwayne’s vivid mural. Depicted here is a history of three eras of fire-fighting. On the right, we see a steam-powered water pumper connected to a horse buggy. Centered is the large spool for water hoses. The men would push the hand cart to the fire where they would connect to a water truck or to a water hydrant. On the left is a modern-day fire truck beside fire fighters in action wearing modern-day gear. The fire itself was inspired by the Tony’s Leather fire (1950) downtown Williams Lake.
Artistic Notes:
Dwayne’s challenge here was to blend eras in a readable way. Notice the illusion he has created of the wall falling and the fire is coming towards the viewer. Dwayne worked closely on this mural with eldest daughter, Denica Davis, who was at the time an aspiring young artist.

The underlying concepts of alternative medicine are far older than those of conventional, allopathic medicine and have in fact infused various healing traditions around the world since the dawn of recorded history.
As early as 5000 BCE, for example, physician-sages formulating the healing traditions of both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine recognised that human beings were comprised of body, mind and spirit and that health represented a harmonious balance within all three of these aspects of existence as well as the free flow of invisible vital energy.It is important to recognize that we, practitioners of alternative medicine, are not opposed to conventional medical practices and do not hesitate to employ them when dealing with patients faced with acute, life threatening illnesses or injuries.Both systems of medicine have much to offer and the wisest form of health care is one which makes use of each of them in an integrated manner that most fully meets patient needs.
