ABOUT LARA

For 16 years, Lara Palmer has lived immersed in Tofino’s wild coast, where ocean, forest, and sky meet. An award-winning Art Director with a B.A. from the Ontario College of Art & Design, Lara brings a sharp conceptual eye and global experience to her photography-based art.

 A surfer and passionate observer of nature, Lara began creating photography-based art in 2024, inspired by the rhythms of Tofino’s tides, light, and ecosystems. Her work transforms the coastal landscape into fresh perspectives that spark imagination and inspire wonder.

Lara’s work has been featured at the Tofino Gallery of Contemporary Art, the Long Beach Lodge Artist Series, the Henry Nolla Gallery at the Wickaninnish Inn, and the Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver.
