Embracing the Art of Peter Wyse: A Journey Through Whimsy and Wonder

Welcome to the world of Peter Wyse, an artist whose brush strokes are as much about painting as they are about storytelling. In a serene corner of Clayburn Village, Wyse creates windows into whimsical worlds, where each detail is ingrained with a sense of joy and discovery.

"Leaving the Bay"

Leaving the Bay by Peter Wyse


This 30" x 40" painting captures a moment of departure, where the bay's calm meets the promise of the open sea. Wyse's mastery of layering is evident as he builds from dark foundations to light, creating a sense of almost tangible depth. With their graceful arcs and contrasting hues, the orcas guide us from the familiar shores to the unknown.

"Whale Tail"

Whale tale by Peter Wyse


At 12" x 12", this piece is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. The singular, powerful curve of the whale's tail against the serene blue suggests a narrative of resilience and elegance. Wyse's technique—carefully sanding down the layers of acrylic—reveals the subtle textures of the water, inviting us to feel as much as we see.

"The Quiet"

Measuring 30" x 24", this painting is a serene contemplation, where the leaves whisper, and the sea's gentle swell merges under a starry sky. Here, Wyse's artistry encourages us to pause and find peace in the stillness, reminding us that tranquillity is as profound as any adventure.

Peter Wyse's paintings are more than just visually stunning; they are born of a meticulous process that demands patience and precision. His dedication to his craft mirrors his commitment to giving back to the community, supporting vital causes such as UNICEF Canada and the B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation. In collecting Wyse's art, you're bringing beauty into your home and becoming a part of a larger story—one where art contributes to the well-being of others.

Wyse's artwork invites us to embark on a journey that starts within the borders of a painting but extends far beyond into the heart of humanity itself. Join us in celebrating the enchanting visions of Peter Wyse, where every brushstroke is a step towards a more whimsical, compassionate world.
