Hi, I’m Ingrid — an award-winning environmental artist, writer, and photographer based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.

My work is rooted in a lifelong conversation with the natural world. For over two decades I’ve created site-specific installations and public art works across Canada and internationally, and from 2015–2025 I co-developed Alchemy Farm — a decade-long ecological art project integrating pollinator habitat, ecological restoration, and living systems on Salt Spring Island.

I write here about nature and the seasons — weaving together natural history, personal experience, and the quiet intelligence of the land. Stories that help readers see their own connection to the living world through new eyes.

I’m also the creator of the Alchemy Flower Oracle and Eco Heart Oracle decks — nature-based tools for reconnecting with inner wisdom and the more-than-human world. Original fine art, mixed media panels, fine art prints, and oracle decks are available at my Studio Gallery by appointment and online at shop.ingridkoivukangas.com.

A portion of all of my sales helps to support KIVA loans to women in agriculture in developing countries.
