Product Insights
This framed art print, exclusive to the Simons Maison x OLEKA CANVAS collaboration, features a wave photograph by Gaspésie-born surfer and Beside Magazine artist Catherine Bernier, rooted in Atlantic surfing and Nova Scotia life. Priced at $128 CAD for the 18x24 size, it undercuts comparable unframed canvases from competitors while offering a linden wood frame with no glass—eliminating glare, reducing weight, and simplifying hanging. Each print triggers a tree planting via Ecologi (over 20,000 planted), and the frame's basswood is a least-concern species; the print is made in Quebec, lowering shipping emissions. The finish is crisp in four colors, and the canvas resists sagging, though the print is a standard framed piece, not a gallery wrap.

Deep Research
Linden wood frame construction
- Linden wood, commonly called basswood in North America, weighs only 26 lbs/ft³ — one of the lightest commercial hardwoods — which means even the largest 36×48 inch frame will be easy to lift onto a hook and will place minimal stress on wall anchors, a practical advantage over heavier oak or maple frames of the same size.
- Although basswood shrinks significantly during initial drying, once it reaches equilibrium it becomes notably stable, so the frame’s mitered corners stay tight and the print remains flat through seasonal humidity swings that might warp less stable frames.
- American basswood is classified as a species of least concern by the IUCN and is widely available across eastern North America, meaning the frame’s wood comes from an ecologically sound source — a tangible sustainability credential that complements the brand’s tree-planting initiative.
- Basswood has long been the carver’s preferred wood because its fine, even texture cuts cleanly without tearing — that same tight grain gives the frame’s edges crisp, sharp profiles and a smooth, almost waxy surface that feels refined to the touch.
- Because basswood’s grain is so fine and unobtrusive, it does not telegraph through painted or stained finishes, so the frame’s color — whether white, black, espresso, or natural — appears smooth and consistent without distracting wood grain, directing all attention to the print itself.
- Basswood ranks alongside maple and cherry as a staple of the professional picture framing industry, valued for its ability to take paint evenly and hold a crisp detail — choosing a linden frame places this print in a lineage of quality framing that galleries and artists have relied on for decades.
About the artist, Catherine Bernier
- Her photographic vision earned the cover of Beside Magazine's relationship-themed issue, where she was tasked with capturing the synergy between a couple in Halifax. That editorial assignment—coupled with her background as a writer and creative director—positions her work as narrative-driven rather than purely decorative, making this print a piece of storytelling as much as visual art.
- Her portfolio includes photographing Canadian coldwater surfer Claire Parsons for the June Swimwear Coastal Dream collection at The Parcelles, blending surf culture with lifestyle imagery. This project underscores her ability to merge human subjects with the raw Atlantic setting in ways that feel both authentic and curated—a sensibility that directly translates to the composition of this print.
- She co-owns The Parcelles, a creative retreat and photography studio on the Nova Scotia coast, where she lives and works. This permanent immersion in the maritime environment means her photographic practice is informed by a daily, year-round relationship with the same landscape that produced this image—not just a one-off visit.
- Catherine Bernier's intimate knowledge of the sea comes from lived experience—she suffered a concussion while surfing a winter storm in Nova Scotia, an event she chronicled in a personal essay for Beside Media. The photograph in this print is not an outsider's abstraction but the vision of someone who has been physically overpowered by the same Atlantic swells, giving the image a visceral credibility.
- She was born in Gaspésie and now lives in Nova Scotia, two places that have defined her photographic voice and fostered an enduring fascination with Eastern Canada’s open spaces. That biographical anchor means this image is not an adopted aesthetic but an authentic reflection of a lifelong connection to the region’s coastal climates and communities.
Price comparison to similar framed prints
- PrintXpert sells an 18x24-inch gallery wrap canvas at $169 CAD — a product that wraps the image around the sides but remains a frameless stretch; the Onde Atlantique art print delivers the same canvas-on-wood construction plus a finished linden wood frame for $41 less, making it the clear value play for a turnkey wall display.
- Posterjack's 18x24-inch custom canvas print — stretched on a kiln-dried basswood frame but sold unframed — lists at $162 regular (often $133 on sale), so at $128 the pre-framed Onde Atlantique print undercuts the most popular Canadian custom canvas service by a meaningful margin while eliminating the need to source a frame separately.
The Simons Maison x OLEKA CANVAS collection
- Each print sold across the collaboration triggers a tree planting through Oleka Canvas’ Ecologi partnership (now over 20,000 trees), and paired with the made-in-Quebec manufacturing and moisture-resistant polyester canvas that avoids vinyl, the line delivers a verifiable sustainability story that matters if you prioritize responsible decor.
- Catherine Bernier’s surfer-and-wave photograph anchors a nautical, story-driven piece within a collection that also includes the retro, neon-infused Floral Wave and the abstract, mineral-toned Trace print — meaning the collaboration spans multiple decor styles, so you can pick pieces that match different rooms or moods while keeping the same frame finish.
- The print is part of a line developed exclusively for Canadian department store Simons Maison in partnership with Quebec-based OLEKA CANVAS, a design-and-manufacture collaboration not found elsewhere — which elevates the piece from generic wall decor to a curated, locally-made art object.
Polyester canvas durability and display
- The canvas's durability and moisture resistance eliminate the need for glare-producing glass or plexiglass in framing, so the deep blues and tones of the Atlantic wave image are visible from any angle without reflections — a practical advantage in sunlit rooms where window light would otherwise wash out a traditional framed print.
- Polyester canvas has a high tensile strength and is notably resistant to stretching and sagging, meaning the print will remain drum-tight and flat against its frame for years, even in rooms subject to temperature and humidity swings that cause cotton prints to go slack.

Documents & Data
Q&A
5 answered- How does the print's color accuracy compare to the online photo? Are the blues more vivid or muted in person?
- The print is designed with high-quality digital reproduction, so the blues should closely match the online photo, though individual monitor settings can cause slight variations. We recommend checking the product images on multiple devices for the most accurate representation.
- What is the finish of the linden wood frame? Is it natural, stained, or painted, and what color?
- The linden wood frame is available in several finishes, including white, black, espresso, and natural wood, according to Oleka Canvas's frame options. The specific print may come in one of these colors based on the design — please check the listing for the exact frame color shown.
- Is the image a gallery wrap where the design continues around the edges, or is it a flat print on a standard canvas?
- This is a framed print rather than a gallery wrap. The canvas is stretched over a linden wood frame and then enclosed in an outer frame, so the design does not continue around the edges — it's a standard flat print within a frame.
- Does the metal wire come pre-attached, and are any additional hanging accessories (nails, hooks) included?
- Yes, the metal wire comes pre-attached for easy hanging. No additional nails, hooks, or hardware are included — you'll need your own hanging supplies.
- Which organization is partnered for the tree planting program, and what type of tree is planted?
- Oleka Canvas partners with the movement Ecologi for the tree planting program. They have planted over 20,000 trees through this collaboration, but the specific type of tree planted is not disclosed.
