Fergus Falls, December 2014

Henry David Thoreau said “Only that day dawns to which we are awake.” For Chris Lashbrook, that philosophy is at the core of his work … to walk where we all walk and see the things we miss. Who knew, that on a bright winter’s day, the Grand River falls near Fergus could be so stunningly beautiful? - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

Maybe the best thing about experiencing art is the way it engages your whole self in the present moment. Take some time here … when you look at the image, what do you notice or feel?

You may be surprised to learn that what at first appears to be an artfully composed watercolour painting is actually a photograph.

Parry Sound 2018

Thank goodness that Chris Lashbrook embraced his obvious calling in life because we’re all the richer for it. His photograph of this Parry Sound water reflection is as ‘stare-at-me’ stunning as an intricately painted canvas. Why have I found this photographer’s work to be so important? He's on a mission to walk where we all walk … and see the things we miss. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

Parry Sound Fall of 2018

Dora Lake, Parry Sound, Fall 2020

Leave it to Chris Lashbrook to start with a photo of the humble leaf of a pickerel weed plant in Dora Lake near Parry Sound and end up with an arresting, minimalist image that is otherworldly. I don't know about you but now I'm imagining the large mast of a sail boat, gliding silently along, with its gently perfect reflection on the peaceful water. What an incredible source of inspiration, not to mention a vital daily reminder to “stay the course”. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

Chris Lashbrook is on a mission to walk where we all walk … and see the things we miss. It was the stunning simplicity of this photo of fall pickerel leaves (in Dora Lake near Parry Sound) that first drew me in to see his work at The Artist Project. I remember I was rushing that day. After standing a while to take in this striking photograph, I remember feeling a deep and peaceful calm settle over me. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

Everyone perceives something different in an abstract. At first glance, you may think this is a multi-layered abstract painting and see fish frolicking in a still lake near a large rock formation. In fact, it’s a “you’ve got to be kidding me!” example of Chris Lashbrook’s mission to capture the beauty in everyday things that we may overlook. What you’re actually seeing here is one part of his series of pre-pandemic photographs of the naturally occurring result of winter road grime, salt and melt-water spray on aluminum hoarding panels surrounding a construction site! - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

Chris Lashbrook captures such a wide variety of stunning images, his growing body of work is an exultation of the beauty all around us. Here, he’s captured the reflection of trees on rippled water in such a complete way as to reference an impressionist painting. The clear blue clarity at the centre is so uplifting, this photograph joyfully ‘brings the outdoors in’ to any workplace. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

July 2021 from Coquitlam BC

If you’re anything like me, you’ve just stopped what you’re doing to pause and really take in this photograph by Chris Lashbrook, as he looked south from Canada at Mount Baker in Washington state. A seemingly hesitant moon is just beginning to rise over the horizon. At more than four feet wide in real life, the print of this photograph will mesmerize everyone who sees it … and that’s a very good thing. With the recent release of the IPCC report on our human influence on global warming, I can’t help but wonder if the moon here isn’t quite sure that it actually wants to rise and bear witness. If ever we needed motivating images like this to focus our efforts to halt climate change, it’s NOW. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK

“This pre-renovation image of the Massey Hall façade by Toronto photographer Chris Lashbrook says a lot about his heart and his patience … first, to look up and notice the symmetry, then to take time to capture all of the finely wrought architectural details.

Of course, the Massey Hall façade doesn’t look like this anymore and that’s exactly why this photograph is so important.

With all of its beautiful detail, it pays respect to the long and inimitable history of iconic Massey Hall, all while celebrating the continued evolution of The Corporation of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall.”

Need a post-pandemic way to encourage engagement and build community in the workplace? Fill it with a compelling variety of original Canadian artworks and photography and let the conversations begin! This photo of The House of Dior façade in Paris was taken by Chris Lashbrook in the fall of 2021. There is SO much to talk about and to appreciate here: the meticulously rendered horizontal and vertical lines; the light and shadow detail that reveals the intricacies of the garments and the otherworldly glow of the front display. Not to mention that this photo may then spark deeper conversations about how the history of garments impacts and informs clothing choices today. - Lisa Penny, Founder, ARTS AT WORK
