OUR STORY

Welcome to our gallery by the sea. Studio 106.

In 2022 Kevin and Marlene decided to open an art gallery for everyone. Featuring Canadian artists that are inspired by nature. A comfortable, warm and welcoming environment, with price ranges to suit all budgets. We feel strongly that art should, and can be, enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

Our family has a great passion for nature and outdoor activities. We feel incredibly fortunate to live on Vancouver Island where a walk in the forest or a stroll on the beach is close by.

We greatly enjoy art about the natural world. We appreciate the skill, talent, craftmanship and incredible passion that artists put into their work. Having the opportunity to talk directly to artists and see where they work is fascinating and inspiring. Like many people, we but don’t always know all the right words to say about art and sometimes felt intimidated in large galleries. We wanted to create an environment where people feel comfortable just enjoying art in a beautiful space.

Stop by sometime and say hello. Relax in a comfortable chair and enjoy nature through the eye of an artist.
