Christen Oatley is a Canadian artist whose work is rooted in nature, memory, and emotion.

After more than a decade as the founder and creative force behind Ten and Co.—one of North America’s leading sustainable sponge cloth brands—Christen stepped away from the world of eco textiles to return to what’s always driven her: creating meaningful, visual stories.

This first collection marks the beginning of a new chapter — one rooted in exploration. Christen’s work blends photography with hand-finished elements like acrylic, oil, resin, and screen printing, but the style itself remains open and evolving. Each piece is an experiment in feeling and form, part of an ongoing journey to see where the work leads next. With future collections already taking shape, she’s excited to keep pushing into new ideas and unexpected directions.

The Wilderness Within Collection brings landscapes to life in layered, tactile ways, inviting the viewer to pause and feel — whether it’s the quiet stillness of fog over the Pacific or the scale of towering spruce against Alaskan peaks.

Inspired by travel and time spent outdoors, Christen is drawn to unique views—whether found in everyday moments or discovered in hard-to-reach places—offering a glimpse of the world through her lens.

Before launching Ten and Co., Christen studied both business and interior design, laying the foundation for her instinctive sense of composition, storytelling, and building thoughtful, visually-led experiences.
