Dian McCreary B.A.

Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, Dian grew up under the artistic influence provided by her parents who painted, sketched and enjoyed photography and darkroom work. At age 19 she traveled throughout North America where she continued to follow her dreams.

After raising four children in Alberta, Dian attended the University of Lethbridge, Alberta graduating in 2001. As part of her B.A. program she took art and photography courses and discovered the creative possibilities of the camera lens and the darkroom. Dian and her husband moved to Ucluelet, British Columbia in 2004, where they built Reef Point B & B and Gallery by the Sea.

Dian’s true passion is for black and white photography. She feels there is greater flexibility for artistic expression while capturing the nature and beauty of her natural world. Relying on natural light to set the mood, Dian captures the ocean’s fluidity with long exposures, the drama of West Coast storms and crashing waves on rocky headland; or the mystical light in ancient rainforests, soft drifting mist and the interplay of light and shadow on the forest floor.

As a photographer who develops her own photography, Dian considers herself a traditionalist. While capturing images on film, she hand develops all black and white prints in her darkroom. All her images are released in Limited Edition runs of 50.

Dian’s photography is available exclusively at Reflecting Spirit Gallery in Tofino and Ucluelet, BC.

“There is so much beauty and inspiration here in this little piece of paradise”.
