ABOUT LARA

Lara Palmer is an Artist whose work is deeply inspired by 16 years of living in Tofino, B.C., Canada surrounded by its stunning coastal beauty. An award-winning Art Director with a Bachelor of Arts from the Ontario College of Art & Design, Lara has judged prestigious industry awards and shared her creative expertise worldwide. 

An avid surfer and nature lover, Lara began creating photography-based conceptual art in 2024, drawing from the rhythms of Tofino’s tides, light and ecosystems. Her work offers a fresh perspective that invites discovery, sparks imagination and inspires wonder. 

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