You’re not too late. You’re right on time.

Part art studio, part gallery, part invitation to remember what lights you up

Shop. Make. Connect. Be inspired.

Hi, I'm Michelle

Coastal Flow Creative is more than a studio — it’s the next version of a life I’ve been building for a long time.

At 55, I’m not retiring — I’m restructuring. Letting go of the things that no longer fit, and pouring my energy into what does: art, creativity, community, collaboration, and nourishment — the kind that fills both the plate and the spirit.

This space is part gallery, part classroom, part kitchen-table conversation. It’s where I make my work, teach others, host workshops, and bring people together making things that matter.

You’ll find Coastal Flow Creative in a beautiful heritage home in Port Alberni, tucked just off the main road — not far from the water, and usually soundtracked by a solid 80s one-hit wonder playlist.

Whether you’re here to shop, take a class, or just reconnect with something you’ve been missing — you’re in the right place.
