Join Capture on April 19 for a skatejam at the Peter Sullivan Skatepark, Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver. Partners include District of West Vancouver, Canada Skateboard, and Antisocial Skate Shop.
Photographer Alana Paterson owes a lot to skateboarding. It gave her confidence, and the strong ties she forged in that community carried her forward in her career. Paterson is known for her striking and empowering portraits. The mural at the Peter Sullivan Skatepark features four of Canada’s brightest stars in skateboarding: Una Farrar, Breana Geering, Annie Guglia, and Shari White. As the sport officially moves out of the shadows and premieres in the 2020 Olympics, there is no better time to spotlight the talented women forging their own path and inspiring future generations of girls to skate.
Presented in partnership with VANS, District of West Vancouver, Canada Skateboard, and Antisocial Skate Shop.
