Granville Island, Vancouver
$100
18" x 24"
Beneath the Granville Bridge, it’s a mix of industry, charm, and creativity. It’s where a cement plant shares space with markets, studios, and working fishing docks. Yes, it’s touristy, but even for locals, that’s part of the fun. Word from the wise, take the aquabus, or you’ll likely be circling in a slow-moving ballet of bad parking luck.

“It fills with music, movement, and familiar faces.”
"I took a quiet walk through the island on a grey March day, tuning into the sounds, textures, and smaller details that often get missed. That slower moment reminded me how different the island feels when the sun comes out—how it fills with music, movement, and familiar faces. I wanted to reflect that shift, drawing from landmarks and the more intimate, everyday moments that keep me coming back each week.”
