This exhibit features a collection of beautiful canvas prints by the late Sharron Palmer-Hunt, Past President of Gabriola Photography Club and avid wildlife photographer.

As a leader and a cherished friend, Sharron dedicated much of her time, energy and commitment to the betterment of our Club, and her legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Sharron was a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation, using her lens to tell stories that touched our hearts and opened our eyes to the wonders of the animal kingdom and the importance of preserving biodiversity. She was also a member of Gabriola’s Eagle Monitoring committee and served on the board of GROWLS (Gabriola Rescue of Wildlife Society) for many years.

Sharron was our first Club webmaster, developing our website and tending it faithfully until health challenges intervened. You’ll find many of her beautiful wildlife images on this site.

Let us remember her with gratitude for the joy and inspiration she brought into our lives. We sincerely thank her husband, Peter Palmer-Hunt, for collaborating with us to produce this exhibit and for providing this collection of Sharron’s canvas prints.

25% of proceeds from sales from this exhibition will be donated to GROWLS.
