WILLIAM LIAO
Twilight Silhouettes
Acrylic on canvas 40 x 30
$4730
Balancing representation and abstraction, William’s new Twilight Silhouettes features layered brushwork and shifting colour, capturing the moment when warm light fades into cooler shadow. Inspired by the rhythm and atmosphere of everyday life in Vancouver, this piece was recently awarded First Place at the 2026 ‘Scenes from Canada’ exhibition by the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Warm Glimpse
Acrylic on canvas 20 x 24
$2540
William’s artistic journey began early in Beijing, China, where he was immersed in classical Chinese culture alongside emerging European art after the Cultural Revolution. These dual influences remain central to his creative inspiration today.

PHILIP MIX
Summer Sanctuary
Oil on linen 30⅛ x 45⅛
$5900
Wind your way through the faceted landscapes of Philip Mix, where moments of time stand still, solid forms vibrate, and colour separates into prismatic layers. Dramatic and sculptural, a kaleidoscope of colour and geometry. Time of day and natural elements appear reconstructed into a layered perspective that creates a stained-glass collage out of our coastal habitat.

BRUCE EDMUNDSON
Rocket Ship
Vancouver Island Big Leaf Maple Burl, Quartz base 17.5 x 12 x 9
$850
‘Rocket Ship’ is an homage to the Flash Gordon books my father gave me that started a love of reading.

ANDRII YENDAKOV
Sailing the Strait
Oil on canvas board 14 x 18
$1680
Andrii’s new Sailing the Strait captures the light and movement of Kitty Islet in Oak Bay, inspired by his en plein air practice and Impressionist approach to colour and atmosphere.
Noon at Pike Point
Oil on canvas board 12 x 16
$1250
In the 1990s, Andrii studied in the Faculty of Arts and Graphics at Southern Ukrainian University in Odessa. His new arrivals reflect both his extensive artistic background and the inspiration he has found since making Victoria his home in 2024, offering a fresh interpretation of our coastal environment.
