LARA SCHECTER
ABOUT lara
I am a Vancouver-based artist whose work explores themes of solitude, connection, and the emotional resonance of landscapes. Inspired by the beaches, forests, and mountains of British Columbia, my paintings and mixed-media resin pieces reflect the shifting balance between sea, sky, and industry.
Blending impressionism and abstraction, I use bold colour, layered light, and thoughtful composition to express the quiet beauty of the coast. My background in design and photography informs a strong sense of structure and narrative. Each piece invites reflection, offering a moment to pause and see the familiar with renewed attention and feeling.
