The Artist Behind The Lens

Bri Vandyke Photography turns four this year—a milestone shaped by countless early mornings on Vancouver Island, long quiet watches in the forest, and an endless curiosity for the wild creatures who move through these landscapes. What began as a desire to slow down and reconnect with nature has grown into a body of work rooted in patience, presence, and the wild rhythm of the island itself.

I’m drawn to honest moments—soft light, quiet movement, instinctive behavior that can’t be staged or repeated. My approach is slow and intentional, allowing wildlife to reveal themselves in their own time. Each photograph begins with observation and respect; each final piece is created to bring a sense of calm, connection, and natural elegance into the homes of collectors.

Every artwork is photographed in Canada and printed locally using premium archival materials. Quality, longevity, and craftsmanship matter deeply to me—each piece is made to feel timeless, grounded, and meaningful, something you’ll want to live with for years.

My work has been featured in several exhibitions across Vancouver Island and beyond, including:

Virtual Exhibition “Lightness of Being,” juried by Sergio Gomez, 2025
Juried Show, Pearl Ellis Gallery, 2025
Member Show, Campbell River Art Gallery, 2024
Juried Show, YQQ + CVA Arts & Culture Program, 2023
Member Show, Campbell River Art Gallery, 2023

My artwork is also multiple in private collections worldwide, something that continues to be one of the greatest honours of this journey.

As I celebrate four years of this creative path, I’m grateful for every person who has welcomed a piece of Vancouver Island’s wild spirit into their space. Your support allows me to keep exploring, observing, and sharing the moments that move me most.

Thank you for being here—whether you’re discovering my work for the first time or adding to a growing collection. I hope these pieces bring you the same sense of calm and presence they offer me.
