Hi! I’m barclay.

I come from a long line of creatives and began learning about photography from watching my mom at work. I then spent many fun hours in our high school darkroom and at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design before moving to digital.

Alongside my husband, also an artist (are you sensing a theme?), I ran The Ou Gallery and our Artist Residency for seven years, hosting over a hundred artists with diverse backgrounds and mediums in our home and studios.

I love meeting artists and being in their creative spaces; the mess and beauty of it all. It’s a special feeling to be able to capture a small, authentic moment through my camera, and a privilege to create images that can be shared on your website, social media, art cards, and beyond.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect!
