A new exhibit by landscape and wildlife photographer and visual artist, Corinne Flaws, explores the beauty of nature through light, textures and colours.

Corinne creates art with her camera using intentional camera movement, multiple exposures and other techniques. This show includes some of her favorite recent photographs and “art-ographs”, printed on wood to enhance the feeling of being immersed in nature.

The show runs until November 30, downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Centre.

Gather – rain or shine – at 1 pm in the Agi Hall parking lot on South Road, Gabriola Island. Please park in the north lot (the end closest to the ferry terminal). From there, we’ll drive and/or carpool to a number of sites, ending back in the Village.

If you plan to participate please email us ahead of time to let us know, so that we can contact you in the event of any last-minute changes.

This month our Club is taking a break from our usual photographic offerings, so we’ve turned the exhibit space over to Gabriola fabric artist Eva MacDonald, who is showing a collection of her creative, colourful clothing art. Some of the pieces are wet felted using wool and silk, along with Eco Dyeing (with Heide Brown). Other pieces in the exhibit include hand dyed silks. Her show runs until October 13.

Venturing Out!
or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the ….. New”

“A venture is a project or activity which is new, exciting, and difficult because it involves the risk of failure.”

Could mean a whole variety of things to each of us!

I leave it to the imagination of the viewer as to what each image might represent to its creator – me! – or even how or where it was created!

The world is wide and our imagination only limited by our own feelings, experiences and emotions.

Go ahead! Try something new!
