Supporting Local Artists Means Supporting BC Communities

Buying art created right here in BC keeps your dollars in the community. It sustains not only the artists themselves but also the small businesses that frame, exhibit, and promote their work.

At Lumina Art Hub, we represent artists
whose lives and practices are rooted in BC. Carolynn Ashley captures serenity through abstract expression, while Connie O’Connor paints contemplative works inspired by landscapes and memory. When you bring their art into your home, you’re directly contributing to the growth of British Columbia’s cultural economy.

Celebrating BC’s Natural Beauty Through Art

Our province’s natural environment is one of
the richest sources of inspiration for local artists.

  • Ramona Hoeft, based in the Okanagan, creates vibrant landscapes that reflect the valley’s rolling hills and open skies.
  • Gaby Saliba, now living on Vancouver Island, uses photography to capture the fleeting moods of nature, transforming them into striking works on canvas and fine art paper.
  • In Kelowna and Lake Country, artists regularly showcase nature’s diversity at cultural events like the Lake Country ArtWalk.

When you purchase local art, you’re not just buying a painting or a photograph — you’re bringing a piece of BC’sbreath taking environment into your home.

A Personal Connection You Can’t Get Anywhere Else

Unlike mass-produced décor, local art carries personal stories and connections. Every brushstroke, every photograph, is informed by the artist’s lived experience in BC.

  • Brian Houle uses macro photography to magnify the beauty of natural and urban details we often overlook in Vancouver.
  • Mark McDermott’s hyperrealist paintings transform everyday scenes into emotionally charged narratives, sparking conversation and reflection.

These works allow buyers to experience the province not only through their own eyes but also through the unique perspectives of local artists.

Accessible Art for Every Home

Supporting local doesn’t have to mean stretching your budget. While some buyers seek large-scale originals, others discover meaningful connections through fine art prints.

Artists like Susan Holmes (Vancouver) and Eddie Burke (Port Moody) make their works available as high-quality prints on canvas and fine art paper. This accessibility allows more people across Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, and the Okanagan to support local artists, no matter their budget.

By choosing prints, you’re still supporting BC’s creative economy while filling your home with meaningful, locally inspired
art.

Keeping British Columbia’s Creative Future Alive

BC’s creative culture depends on the people who champion it. Events like the Lake Country ArtWalk or
exhibitions in Vancouver’s thriving gallery scene wouldn’t exist without community support. Every purchase of a local artwork — whether an original
painting in Kelowna or a fine art print in Victoria — helps sustain these cultural spaces for the next generation.

By investing in BC art today, you’re ensuring that the province’s cultural future remains vibrant, diverse, and uniquely tied to the land and people who live here.

Invest in BC’s Creativity

Supporting local art is more than a
transaction — it’s a way of affirming that British Columbia’s artists matter. From the urban energy of Vancouver to the tranquil landscapes of the Okanagan and Vancouver Island, BC artists are shaping how we see ourselves and our communities.

When you purchase an artwork, you’re not only buying a piece for your wall. You’re building connections, preserving culture, and investing in a stronger, more creative BC.
