Vancouver Island Wall Art and Fine Art Photography Prints

Vancouver Island is big enough to hold several climates and small enough to feel like one community. It runs more than four hundred kilometres from Victoria to Cape Scott, a ferry ride from the mainland, with a spine of mountains down the middle that keeps the surf coast and the inside passage from ever having the same weather on the same day. I have lived in a dozen places and travelled enough of Europe, Canada and Asia to make the comparison, and this is the one I chose to stay in.

The Comox Valley, where my family and I live, sits near the middle. South are Victoria and the Gulf Islands; west, over the mountains, are Tofino and the open Pacific; north of Campbell River the highway thins out, the towns get smaller, and the lakes, logging roads and boardwalk settlements that fill much of this gallery begin. Salmon run up the rivers every fall, surfers work the west-coast beaches all year, and on the east side the sun sets over the strait most evenings in a way that still gets me out of the house with a camera.

I shoot the Island the way I live on it: early mornings on an empty beach, long drives to a lake I have heard about, an overcast afternoon spent on architecture because the landscape light did not come. It is large enough that there are still places I have not been, and it is this gallery's job to keep that list getting shorter.

Vancouver Island wall art from this gallery is available in matte paper, metal, acrylic and framed finishes, in sizes from small-wall to large, with Vancouver Island art prints shipping from a Canadian printer and separate US fulfilment for orders from the States.
