Munbeibis (Finnish, “moon-bay-bee”) are a family of hand sculpted and painted ceramic stoneware figurines, made by one human named Hannah. The Munbeibis come from a fairytale she dreamed up about a group of disgruntled moon rocks that have gently invaded Earth, drawn here by their curiosity about humans and our natural surroundings. Hannah’s work is intended to encourage rediscovery of lost childhood dreams, and exploration of the hidden worlds which exist inside each of us.

My love of beautiful scents and aromas is very deep seated. Following a long career in food & wine, as I looked to my next creative adventure, the path was clear! Serenita Candle Company came to fruition in the spring of 2023. I had a strong desire to create products that were clean burning, softly scented, and made with natural ingredients. I’m inspired by nature and all the beauty that surrounds us. In the shop you’ll find everything from gentle lavender to more obscure blends like Cardamom, Vanilla, and Tobacco. All my candles are created with 100% Soy wax, essential oils, and decorated with locally grown herbs and flowers. The crystals add a bit of whimsy!

Small West Coast inspired boutique.

Curating eco-friendly, sustainable living at a affordable price. Neutral modern pieces, hand crafted fashion & home décor. Everything we have in store is hand made by us or local small businesses.

“As the theme aims to celebrate community, I wanted to depict this through the use of animals. In this design I see the Elk as the main focal point acting as a representation of the area, a welcoming place to come and stay, be safe, and feel welcomed by a vibrant community and surrounding area. I see this mural design as a representation of everyone being welcomed, whether just for a short stay, or if one is putting down roots.”

– artist Claire Crawford

“I have always had an affinity for wolves.

With Dewolfe being a namesake of mine, they will forever represent family to me.

In this piece I exhibit a pack of coastal wolves to embody an essence of kinship, both between the people that make up our communities, and our innate communion with nature; having the cedar also symbolize the primordial wildness of the natural world that we are blessed with so close to our hearts and home.

Witnessing the city of Langford growing since the time I was a child, one aspect that has always stayed true to the core of its community is family. I want to represent the people who have helped this quaint city become what it is today.

The colours I have chosen are to bring tranquility to your mind, as calmness and time with family are things we all need in these moments following a hectic past few years of distance”

– artist Ocea Dewolfe

The crows are life size and my intention here was to display urban wildlife as we see it everyday in every city.

– Brent Cooke (CastArt Studio)

“This design symbolizes freedom in a respectful and intentional way. The Indigenous figures Raven, Eagle, Orca, Butterfly, Frog and Salmon represent remind us of who we share our lands, sea and sky with. It honours our diverse backgrounds and how we can navigate in this world in a unified way. Through kindness and generosity, may we continue to share our beautiful gifts with one another.”

– artist Jamin Zuroski

““Star Connection” is inspired by the meeting and balancing of opposites. Those special moments where it’s not just nighttime and it’s not just daytime. This piece depicts a harmony between differences and the kinship that can be found there.”

– artist Caitlin McDonagh

““Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive.” – Bugs Bunny

The Nerdy Byrd is my gentle visual reminder to the world that it’s ok to be silly, to be whimsical, to simply not take life too seriously. The world is a complicated place in 2022 – and we could use a little cuteness and silliness to offset that a bit. If this lil’ guy makes you crack a smile (however small) – then he’s done his job in life.”

– artist Julien Pilon

This piece celebrates the train and its changing role in society. As society evolves, so does the train’s role in it.
It is made from parts utilized by the railway lines… train tracks, spikes, large turnbuckles and more. Some of the components go back to the 1940’s, see if you can find the stamp!
This piece was made using traditional blacksmithing tools going back to the 1800’s as well as very modern tools using the latest technologies.
While the piece is heavy and grounded, it also has a lightness as the heavy plates curve and flow around the tracks rising into the air, while metal butterflies flutter around it.

“This artwork titled Golden Glow is inspired by the beautiful walking trails in Langford. As a child growing up, my family loved to walk in Goldstream Park and Mount Finlayson and I was always amazed by the beauty of the natural surroundings. Now, as an adult, these same trails offer me artistic inspiration as I walk them with my daughter. I created this artwork design to capture the whimsy and tangible energy of the forest, and share it with the community. The artwork features an image of an open trail so the viewer can imagine themselves on the journey. The artwork title and use of the colour golden ochre also references Langford’s history.”

– artist Laura Rechwan

“This mural is a​ vivid portrait of our best friend companion; the dog. I have selected vibrant, complimentary colours on a black background to emphasize the contrast of the animal features. Throughout the painting I have incorporated an energetic glitch to further allow me to play with colour, composition, and the dynamic energy of the dog.”

– artist Lukas Lundberg

King Of The Kelp is made up of 100% recycled scrap metal. Several items used on the salmon represent Langford and Vancouver Island. See if you can identify them?

“Celebrating Goldstream Provincial Park, “Goldstream Return” captures opulent autumn colours, river bed stone, and spawning Chum Salmon.”

– artist Mitchell Chatham

““Where the Mountains Meet the Sea” is inspired by the beauty we are surrounded by here on the West Coast of Canada on Vancouver Island BC.

I painted this contemporary looking oceanscape painting with peace, stillness and love on my mind and in my heart. The only intention and goal I have with my art work is to always create ‘feel good’ art.

I want my art to soothe peoples souls, touch their hearts and therefor I use certain colours that are known to soothe the soul and hopefully bring a little peace of mind and joy to the viewers and visitors of the Langford Station. 🤍

Much love”

– artist Deborah van Hattem-Koff

“This is a continuation of a body of botanical pattern work I have created with peekaboo eyes hidden throughout. When creating botanical patterns I am inspired by the challenge of creating a sense of depth using only flat shapes and textural planes, much like one would see in silkscreening, embroidery and other textile art, and collage art/paper cutouts. The peekaboo eyes have a lot of meaning for me. They signify many things, including a sense of presence and a feeling of aliveness. As for them being hidden, I like how this suggests that there are hidden beings living among us (which is true, as we don’t see all the beings living around us for a number of reasons). I also like that the art can stare back at you, and that you can’t quite tell what you are looking at.”

“Individuals in a community add to its diversity and richness. These three plants are individuals in the community of a Garry Oak ecosystem. Camas, Buttercup and Fawn lily are all important and beautiful plants on their own but together they help make up the unique and endangered Garry Oak ecosystem that is home to many plants and animals specific to only our west coast environment. Keeping all of these three individuals examples safe helps keep all the plants and animals in the ecosystem safe. Please remember when you are in one of the many Garry Oak ecosystems in Langford that you are temporarily a part of something special and important and what you do there matters, step lightly. ”

– artist Andrea Fritz

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere” – Carl Sagan

The Weekend Warriors is a throwback to my childhood hanging out with my friends. We’d dress up as wizards, knights, thieves, and yes… the occasional “Conan the Barbarian”. We would run around and play sword fighting, throwing pretend lightning bolts at one another, and would basically let our imaginations go nuts, taking us to strange new worlds.

These are some of my fondest memories and I hope this ragtag group of kids brings back similar memories for others. Dare to let your imagination go wild – and see where it takes you! My bets are that you’ll find others that’ll join you on this quest that is life!

– artist Julien Pilon

“This mural is painted to honour my Son Ga̱la-Naani Dakota Henry Taylor.
Ga̱la in my traditional Kwak’wala language translates to Grizzly Bear as he is of a bear clan maternally through his Mum’s Cree heritage and roots.

I have attempted to capture and depict in my own way his wild, rambunctious, loving nature and characteristics and have also included the colour orange as a way to honour my elders, Grandparents, many Uncles and Aunties (many of whom are residential school survivors) and next generation of youth with the statement “Every Child Matters” in hopes it may uplift the local indigenous community as we raise our children up in a cultural, loving, nurturing way on our healing journeys as we attempt to break cycles of inter generational trauma.

This piece was painted with spray paint upon Unceded Lekwungen Territory. I acknowledge the ancestors and supernatural being of this land in doing so.

Gilakasla & Klecko Klecko”

I’m from England where trains were my main mode of transportation for many years. As new rail lines were built, so too were more modern train stations, the best of which found a way to connect passengers. It was easy to hide in a book or a smartphone and not chat with your neighbour. The best train stations found ways for people to interact. When I considered how to connect Station Ave visitors, I thought the best way to do this is by providing a communal bench. This functional sculpture encourages people to interact with the art while enjoying the company of friends old and new.
