Pocket Guide to the Unheralded Artists of BC gathers thirteen overlooked British Columbia artists into a concise, full-colour overview. Spanning the early 1900s through the 1980s, each entry summarizes an artist’s life, influences, and representative work to restore context to regional art history.

The book highlights how socioeconomic and institutional factors—limited public galleries and shifting tastes—left many talented practitioners outside the mainstream. Short biographies and image-led notes make the careers and creative concerns of these artists accessible to readers without requiring the ten-volume series.

Well suited to collectors, students, and local-history readers, the guide invites further exploration of the full Unheralded Artists of BC series while offering a compact reference to little-known figures in Canadian art.
