Keenan Bush is a Canadian artist and photographer based in Tofino, British Columbia, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. His work reflects a lifelong connection to the ocean, the landscapes of the West Coast, and the local surf community. Through photography, painting, and mixed media, Bush explores both the visible and felt experiences of life on the coast, translating the rhythms, textures, and moods of this environment into visual form.

Bush grew up in North Vancouver, surrounded by mountains, forests, and trails. From a young age he was drawn to creating, filling notebooks and binders with drawings of waves, surf scenes, and the natural world. Frequent trips to Tofino left a lasting impression, offering a contrast to city life and shaping his sense of alignment with the environment and community. After finishing high school, he moved to Tofino to live closer to nature, immersing himself in the surf culture and photographing the people and landscapes around him.

What began as a personal exploration quickly evolved into a professional art practice. Bush continues to operate Tofino Surf Photography, providing imagery for both local and international clients, and releasing hand-crafted wooden prints and Tofino-inspired artwork through his website. His images have appeared in publications including SURFER Magazine, CBC News, Destination BC, Outside Magazine, Paddling Magazine, and The Inertia, among others.

Alongside photography, Bush works in painting and mixed media. His practice continues to evolve, producing work that bridges fine art, photography, and experimental media, grounded in the landscapes, culture, and the wild, expansive environment of the West Coast that has shaped his vision and artistic perspective.
