THE DUO BEHIND CORAL STUDIO

Coral Studio is a Vancouver-based creative studio founded by Kelsey Wilkinson and Justin Trueman, a pair that is constantly creating.

With no specific focus, we dabble in photography, leatherwork, textiles, painting, sketching, planning events and whatever else we can sink our teeth into. We created this space to share our creations and document our current obsessions.

hello from coral studio

We met in Halifax in February 2020 and we all know what happened the next month. Eight months later we moved to Vancouver. We’ve been creating things ever since day one.

We believe in taking calculated risks and living with the light-hearted approach of “this could end poorly, but we won’t know until we try”.

In addition, we understand that multiple things define a person - not just a person’s work, hobbies, or relationship status - and that that definition is ever-changing.

  • marine biologist

  • film photographer

  • linocut printer

  • guitar & bass player

  • tinkerer / handy / handsome

  • motorcyclist

Some of Justin Trueman’s definers;

  • sewer / leatherworker / picker upper of crafts

  • dabbles in paints and charcoal

  • slowest film photographer out there
