Behind The Lens

Living and working on Vancouver Island quietly changes how you relate to time, attention, and movement. It is not something that happens all at once. At first, the landscape feels dramatic. The coastline feels powerful. But over time, the spectacle fades, and something else takes its place. Rhythm. Repetition. Subtle change.

Choosing art for your home can feel surprisingly difficult. Not because there is nothing available, but because so much of what looks good in a shop, online, or on a screen does not quite work once it is on your wall. The scale feels off. The energy feels wrong. The piece fades into the background or starts to irritate you over time.

When it comes to art in your home, fast decisions rarely lead to lasting satisfaction. Many people end up with pieces that look fine, photograph well, and technically work in the space, yet something still feels unsettled. The room looks finished, but it does not feel right.
