Bringing Art To Life With Passion, Purpose, And Personal Touch​

MY PASSION

My name is Emma, and I am the founder of Hidden Door Gallery. Over the years, my passion for creativity has blossomed, deepening my experience and connection with paintings. I continue to be captivated by the transformative power of art and its ability to inspire.  After spending a few exciting years in the bustling heart of Downtown Vancouver, my partner, Liam, and I decided to embrace a quieter, community-focused lifestyle in White Rock, B.C. This move not only offered us a change of pace but also ignited my entrepreneurial spirit, leading to the creation of Hidden Door Gallery.

MY PERSONAL TOUCH

With my keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for color and textures, I take great pride in thoughtfully curating pieces that tell compelling stories through their unique artistry and rich compositions. One of my favorite pastimes when traveling with my partner is visiting art galleries and discovering one-of-a-kind pieces that we can bring home as cherished mementos to the places we have been. This passion for art and creativity is infused into everything we do at Hidden Door Gallery.

MY PURPOSE

Hidden Door Gallery was born from my desire to uncover beauty in places where it’s often overlooked, there is always art hiding behind doors waiting to be discovered. Every piece has a history and a story— whether it’s a vintage oil painting or an abstract contemporary print, each work has the power to connect deeply with its viewer. My goal is to bring these hidden gems into the light, allowing others to experience the untold stories behind every piece, and the magic that resonates from within them. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering your love for art, I invite you to explore my gallery and help these beautiful pieces find their forever home.

Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, to inspire, and to motivate – It speaks to each individual differently while reminding us of the beauty that exists in every moment of life
