Homer Winslow Homer was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1836, Homer was the second of three sons of Charles Savage Homer and Henrietta Benson Homer, both from long lines of New Englanders. His mother was a gifted amateur watercolorist and Homer's first teacher, and she and her son had a close relationship throughout their lives. Homer took on many of her traits, including her quiet, strong-willed, terse, sociable nature; her dry sense of humor; and her artistic talent. Homer had a happy childhood, growing up mostly in then rural Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was an average student, but his art talent was on display early.

Greg, a lawyer and Christina, a dental hygienist, both of whom grew up on the West Side of Vancouver, decided to form the gallery shortly after moving to Tsawwassen from Bermuda. Both had a love for fine art from an early age. Greg, a graduate of St. George's School and UBC, had fond memories of his art classes. Christina, a graduate of Magee and UBC, shared Greg's interest. They were both fortunate to have grown up with original fine art in their homes. In addition, their world travels, including several visits to the rich arts communities of Carmel and Maui, and their friendships with some of Canada's most respected artists, gave them perspective from which to develop their vision for the gallery. At the time of forming the gallery, Greg was not aware that his great grandfather, George Clark, an artist, had established one of Vancouver's first fine art galleries.
