As an ongoing project, Gabriola Photography Club curates the art display space downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Clinic on Church Street, Gabriola Island. Club members take turns having solo exhibitions or taking part in group exhibitions.

A lifelong boater, Laurie has spent decades exploring the islands, inlets, shorelines and passages that make up the BC coast, sometimes venturing north to BC’s Central and North Coast – the area now being called the Great Bear Sea. This vast, remote and largely wilderness area encompasses the marine waters from northern Vancouver Island all the way up to the Alaskan border.

This exhibit includes 16 new photos which Laurie has printed for the first time, taken during her most recent trip to the Great Bear Sea in 2022. As well, 10 of her prints from earlier trips are on display in the hallway.

The show runs until April 25, downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Centre, open Monday to Friday.
