1045 Symons Cres, Qualicum Beach, BC. V9K 1M8
“Acrylic on canvas. Watercolour. Mixed media collages using acrylic paint and magazine clippings. My work ranges from the antique architecture of Venice, of nature in Oceanside,and to the creativity of collage making.”
109 Noonday Road, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
My texture layer photography is done using multiple images with textural elements. I do not use filters. The images I use as textures are anything from a portion of a painting on canvas to the lichen on a stucco wall. Each layer acts like a tube of paint.
I’m an artist/photographer who loves capturing the beauty of nature and finding zen in the chaos. I use photography to tell stories and capture moments that can never be repeated. My texture layering technique is unique. I fall outside the normal parameters of either medium of painting or photography. It is not a matter of clicking on a button to reach the result of my pieces.
Bev Powell
7820 Ships Point Road, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0
Bev makes creations of fused glass from both recycled glass and art glass. The whimsical cats and birds make people smile. Bev gets the greatest satisfaction from creating something from nothing so you will see glass trees made from wine bottles, dishes made from window panes, and glass hangings made from cut glass dishes. Recently she’s added painting on glass with high fire enamels to create unique glass tiles.
7844 Ships Point Rd, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0
I am a Photographer and Artist and live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. My work centers around the beautiful natural environment in which I live.
1645 Rodgers Road, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 2B2
​I take inspiration and creative ideas from many sources in various mediums. I love nature and the fantasy world where I create my own environments based on real places or things.
I am constantly experimenting with different techniques and materials. I create art.
1063 Ganske Road, Qualicum Beach, V9K 2G5
I am a watercolor artist. My work is referred to as ‘painterly’. I have 50+ designs of all occasion greeting cards. I produce mainly smaller painted works. I am known for creating whimsical birds but also offer realistic paintings of lighthouse country and house portraits. I offer a wide variety of skills based classes for watercolor painters of all levels. Paint Party classes are a fun ‘try’ at watercolor and are available for private bookings. I have a full series of online watercolor classes and 3 books with accompanying video lessons. You can also join me painting OUT THERE with a sketchbook in what is referred to as Urban Sketching or Pleine Air. Maybe even join in the fun in one of my Mexican adventures!

465 Cowland Road, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
Cindy Mawle is a Vancouver Island artist who works out of her home studio surrounded by forest on the central island. Her acrylic paintings on canvas mostly depict her surrounding areas on the Canadian west coast. Her main objective in these collections of work is to express the calm and joy she experiences in each location. “I want my work to present itself as a touchstone to our natural world. I believe the more we connect to nature, whether in real time or through art, the better off we are as human beings.”
309 Kendon Drive, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 2N8
In one form or another I have been creating visual art works since my youth. I attended the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, spent 10 years teaching art, created visual artworks while in shared studio with fellow artists and I’m currently participating in an online level two master’s art program with instructor Pamela Caughey. I facilitated and participated in many collective community art projects. Received honorable mention at most recent collaborative art project: 2023 Exquisite Corpse Project at the MAC with fellow artist Sheena McCorquodale and Paulette Crampton. Over the years I exhibited my art works in Vancouver, annually in Prince George, and last year I opened Tall Tree Studio to the public during the inaugural Route 19A Studio Tour.
Don Cunningham
7801 Tozer Rd, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0
Don Cunningham is a retired art teacher and wood worker, with more time to devote to painting. Most of his work has been abstract and focused on process. Although he lives on the east coast of Vancouver Island he has always enjoyed his visits to the Long Beach area. His most recent oil paintings are colour studies that explore the changing light conditions of surf and sky in a direct and simple manner. As a woodworker, he creates elegantly designed pieces, from charcuterie boards to cabinets in locally sourced wood: arbutus, yellow cedar, western maple, etc.
453 Balsam Street, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K1H9
I am West Coast award-winning artist and printmaker, having worked primarily in pastel, watermedia, monotype, and other various forms of printmaking. I was a graphic designer and illustrator in Ottawa before moving west in 2006, and recently attended North Island College for 2 semesters in Printmaking. My inspiration is the surrounding natural environment on our beautiful Island and the challange of learning different ways to represent it.
Donna is an Associate member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA), and a Signature member of Pastel Artists Canada (PAC). Her work is in collections across Canada.
3894 Melrose Road, Qualicum Beach BC V9K 2M9
In the world we live in, recycling what we can is so important. But up cycling is even more fun! My outdoor garden sculptures are created from as much recycling as possible. From wire, metal, cans, fabrics and so much more. Fabrics are dipped in a textile hardener that comes from Holland. Hardening like hard plastic gives the sculpture its security to be out in all types of weather for years to come.
Ina-Griet Raatz von Hirschhausen
1860 Ashling Rd, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 2V1
​I think that art it is a language meant to enable universal communication and allowing us to travel to the magic innate world of fantasy that everybody has hidden inside. Thus my intention is to open doors to this world and to make viewers smile with my art. Furthermore I believe creativity and art are essential for mental and thus physical well-being too and as such adds to the quality of life!
With the approach “Do what you can with what you have “(Theodore Roosevelt) and “Give me color” (me) I get my hands on all sorts of plain surfaces and start to paint, make puppets and marionettes, create medieval style scrolls, make “stuff” and write poetry. My preferred media is paint, paper, fabric and wood, often happily used together.

50 Captain Kidd Drive, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
Inspired by the sea and sky, we are a small batch letterpress studio. We are all about designing for and printing on 100% pure cotton paper.
149 Cochrane Road, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 1Z4
Photographer Joanna Recalma has been celebrating the beauty of the west coast since she was a child. Recalma’s art explores themes within the legends from her childhood. These stories offer different ways to think about animals across space and time, in both spiritual and physical realms.
During the TÅ‚a’sala, or Peace Dances, a dancer’s movements shakes eagle down out from the headdresses and the feathers float to the Bighouse floor, symbolizing peace after conflict. Photography represents Recalma’s peace after the practice of conventional law.

Linda Raven
160 Sunshine Place, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
I began weaving and spinning back in the 70’s while living in Prince George. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Fibre Arts program during evenings at The College of New Caledonia. I work in natural fibres and enjoy playing with colour while weaving tea towels. The inspiration for the towels comes from “nature”. I have produced many “rag rugs” as I feel good about recycling cotton into a useable easy care product. Recently I was inspired by a small cottage industry in Northern Scotland where they keep a flock of sheep for “rug weaving”. The fleece is taken straight from the sheep, spun in the grease, skeined, washed and woven into rugs.
160 Sunshine Place, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
I am a fibre artist, creating wall hangings of a larger scale. The majority of the yarn I use is wool, hand spun by myself. A large part of my inspiration is gleaned from our amazing ocean. I custom weave pieces if clients require specific sizes and or colours etc.
5414 Deep Bay Drive, Bowser, BC V0R 1G0
In the Mid 1990’s Lori began decorative painting in acrylics. Over the years she has dabbled in acrylics and watercolour painting but her favorite medium will always be ceramic paste painted on glass or porcelain.
“Colour is what it’s all about in my choice of medium..and functionality of the glassware for everyday use”.
Lynn Orriss
C/O 270 Mill Rd, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 1H8
I work in many different mediums with subject matter ranging from west coast landscapes to whimsical florals. Much of my work is intuitive and leaning towards abstract. I also make one of a kind jewelry
7801 Tozer Rd, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0
Madeleine Wood, MFA was born and raised in BC with an aptitude for drawing, that developed into a fierce desire to become a painter. Her formal education at Emily Carr and Concordia Universities enabled her to establish her studio practice in Vancouver and later in Fanny Bay where she feels a deeper connection to nature. The slowness of painting allows her to fully embody her relationship with the world around her and communicate this with you. Details often overlooked in life can be profound and nuanced and she’s learned to trust what attracts her eye through her camera lens. She then translates these to oil paint, often magnified to encourage observation and reflection. Her realist visual language comes naturally from a classical upbringing, while questioning tradition through contemporary compositions. Madeleine exhibits regularly in galleries and welcomes commissioned work.
433 Holiday Road, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0

5224 Gainsberg Rd, Bowser, BC VOR 1G0
The arts of painting ,enamelling and jewellery making have engaged Peggy for over thirty years. She has explored many themes, processes, and materials that have allowed her imagination to play. An example of this is in her fascination for seeds where she casts seed forms in silver and then incorporating these forms with precious pearls to create original pieces of jewellery. Enamelling glass to metal is much like painting in the choices of color and the layering process through multiple firings to create a piece of art. It is always a joy to see an idea come to completion opening the door to another idea.
Philip Milton
7838 Tozer Road, Fanny Bay, BC V0R 1W0
Late to painting, as I discovered it in 2013 in my fifties. Previous to this I have been a draftsmen, landscaper and landscape designer, joiner and furniture maker of my own designs, and for a past number of years a designer of all natural playscapes for early learning centres, schools and parks. Large rocks, logs, large timbers and hills making up the primary materials for the play structures for playscapes.
My portfolio of paintings are eclectic in nature ranging from landscape impressionism to a form of cubism, modern art, conceptual, etc. These ideas flowed out of me depending on my mood and the music I was listening to at the time of the painting. I did not intentionally conform to the strict nature of a particular movement or discipline but interpreted my thoughts and aesthetic values loosely to those genre.

Teresa Knight
5681 Island Hwy, Union Bay, BC V0R 3B0
I've been painting local life and scenery for the last 20 years, mostly inspired by what I see and mull over when I am out walking with my dog. My style is sort of a daydreamy realism painted in acrylics with some oils and most recently, watercolour. I teach a limited number of painting classes in my studio.

Wayne Paquin
742 West Ridge Way, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 0A9
Wayne Paquin is of Red River Metis Ancestry: comprised of Cree Great Grandmothers and French Explorers, known together as Michif. He grew up outside of this environment but was always drawn to the Natural World, communing with the Nature Spirits. He has always been drawn to working with his hands and imagination. It was not till later in life that he was connected to his roots, and later still, a suitable outlet for his creativity, a combination that is aptly demonstrated through his work, which consists mainly of Freshwater Driftwood, rather than that of Salt Water which is a much harsher environment. Live Edge and other woods that have been rescued are also featured, often incorporating stained and blown glass, internal soft lighting and other artistic embellishments.
