Light on Water: Lara Shecter on Memory, Place & the Pacific Northwest

In this episode of the Art Stories Podcast, hosted by Sky Lilah (@skylilah), we sit down with Lara Shecter — Vancouver-based artist working in acrylic and mixed media, known for her luminous, resin-finished paintings rooted in the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.Her canvases explore memory, solitude, and the quiet tension of place — capturing Jericho Beach at low tide, the working ships of the harbour, and the mountains and forests that define life in Vancouver. With a background in graphic design and a formative chapter shooting photo essays in Bangkok, Lara brings rare visual intelligence to every surface she works on.In this conversation, we explore how place becomes memory, how memory becomes paint, and what it means to build a practice out of the world right outside your window.Follow Lara:vanwrk.com✨ Follow & support:@artvancouver @vvafofficialDon't forget to subscribe and leave a review — we truly appreciate your support!
