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.

You’ll find a plethora of beautiful framed and mounted prints, darkroom-style print displays, gorgeous greeting cards, creative calendars, matted prints, a DIY card tree, a silent auction and more!

The Show is also a good opportunity to meet some of the people involved in the Gabriola Photography Club and learn more about our group, which welcomes new members.

On Monday, October 30 our Photo Club will be hosting members of the Comox Valley Photographic Society, on a day-long field trip here on Gabriola Island.

The morning’s theme will be “Gabriola Icons”, in which we’ll be visiting several much-loved, photogenic places on our island.

The afternoon’s theme is “Rusty Relics” – back by popular demand following our field trip earlier this month. This will be a good opportunity for those Gabriola club members who missed the earlier field trip to focus their creative efforts on some of our island’s old and abandoned – but ever so visually interesting – vehicles.

In between the two sessions we’ll be making a stop for lunch at a local eatery.

If you’d like to join in, please email us in advance for details/

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.
