A new exhibit of 19 framed prints by wildlife photographer, Linda Blokhuisen, has just opened downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Centre.

In Linda’s own words, “I hope you enjoy a glimpse into my adventure in Toba Inlet. It’s such a beautiful area of our British Columbia coast. Visiting during the salmon run pretty well ensures a grizzly bear experience.”

Linda’s show also includes two photos of whales, taken from Orlebar Point on Gabriola Island, along with two raptors (a snowy owl and an eagle)

Be sure to catch this beautiful exhibit of wildlife images, on display until January 19, 2024.

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.

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!

Whether it’s eagles, bears, salmon, sea wolves or other creatures, she captures their images with respect, sensitivity and insight – not to mention a whole lot of love.
