Photographer Michael Overbeck adorns the walls in our Pemberton Cafe. Michael is an adventure and lifestyle photographer based out of Whistler, British Columbia. Born and raised in the Coast Range, his love for the mountains sparked at an early age. Searching for adventures in remote areas around the world, and documenting them all through images, has established Overbeck as a well known name in the outdoor industry.

Mason’s photography draws from a deep well of influence. Growing up in Vernon BC, and having spent much of his adult life
residing in Whistler BC Canada, he honed his craft in a location known worldwide as the holy grail of action sports. Here is where his photography career began. Pursuing the sports he loved Mason became one of the most prolific Whistler ski, snowboard and mountain bike photographers in an area saturated with camera talent. As his passion for the lens grew as did his repertoire of sports. Surfing had always been an infatuation for Mason and it was only natural for him to shoot it. A professional Mountain Biker in his own right, Mason has often been the subject of others lenses and has appeared in magazines worldwide.
As a presenter Mason hosted the largest mountain bike festival in the world, Crankworx Whistler, to a crowd of thousands. Starting in 2013 Mason began hosting an action sports TV show called UnderExposed. A show that followed Masons life as a freelance action sports photographer. It is now airing in Canada on APTN, and in the US on Outside TV.
She has her work everywhere: Whether it is on a pair of Prior skis, printed onto a pillow/tee/iphone case/coffee mug or at our shop in Pemberton! With animalistic tendencies and mad detail, these prints are striking! It’s no wonder she’s popping up left and right. Come on in and take a closer look, you won’t be disappointed.
Next month she will be among the select artists of the State of the Art show during the World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler.

Whistler Local Chad Chomlack has a solo show up at our shop on Main Street in Whistler.
Not only do these images get you stoked for the coming season, they are also intriguing in that they are printed on aluminum. This technique gives the images a pearly depth you don’t often see. It’s magic. Come on in, check it out and get inspired!
The images I like to shoot are often more stark or emotional:
simple elements held in perfect balance; the honest beauty of a person comfortable in his or her own skin.
With trips to Afghanistan, Fiji, India and Nepal under his belt and a seasoned eye for whatever natural assets are on offer; self taught Chad catches moments as they unfold and knows that sometimes the best view of the action is from the edge. He lives for discovering other cultures, hearing peoples stories and finding the peace he loves in
the mountains and snow.
Never posed, Always poised Chad quietly captures the photos that might otherwise go un noticed.
Liks is a graffiti artist, husband and a dad. The one constant that remains from a young age, is his avid interest in graffiti – the lettering, the artists, the history – Everything Graffiti!
Come check out some of his pieces adorning our Pemberton walls today!
…back when he was a teenager in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Believe it or not, his parents didn’t yell or punish him for releasing his cans of spray paint — instead they encouraged him to express himself artistically and bought him his first book on graffiti – “Spray Can Art”. When he was 19 years old, Liks moved to Canada and the beautiful mountain resort of Whistler. Although embracing the laid-back mountain lifestyle, his passion for street art is undeniable. Combined creativity and strong work ethic have resulted in various successful projects with local businesses, and clients abroad.
Most people curse when stopped by a train, but Liks enjoys watching the graffiti painted freights that roll by, finding inspiration from these moving displays of art that travel vast distances across the continent.
Apart from enjoying his family, Liks is happiest when painting and in the future hope to continue to grow and brighten our dull boring walls everywhere, giving people something interesting to look at and enjoy.
He just loves letters!
Well, this is something that is new for us: we have one amazing artist filling the walls of both our shops! Vanessa Stark creates lively works of art and this series features work overlaying topographic maps of our area and the mountains we call home. It is nice to dissect her work and see the relationship of the subject matter to the location of the actual map used.
A bit from Vanessa: “My paintings are without artificial flavors, pesticides or otherwise unnatural influences. I am somewhat in control while painting but mostly they leak from the subconscious. I paint whatever appears when I time warp to that place of lucid creation. The land of daydreams, sunbeams, snowflakes, rainbows, wave breaks and other such fun things that live in the world between reality and dreams.”
