10 Rachelle Chinnery 4930PaulRd.
My current work consists of functional and sculptural porcelain, photography, and textiles. A small greenhouse gallery and working studio are
- pen for visitors on this tour and by appointment
throughout the year. My carved porcelain work is featured in collections in Europe, Australia, and Asia, and was recognized by the British Columbia Creative Achievement Award in 2007.
11 Alpen Kelly 7555 Central
After a lifetime of working in the art world mainly in the fields of painting, printmaking and photography, I came to world of jewellery some 15 years ago. Besides sterling silver and other precious and semi- precious metals, these pieces might use a bone, a pebble, or a shell, sand washed smooth. All are executed with loving care each piece handmade and unique. I continue to work in painting and photography as well as jewellery.
12 Indika Gnanaratna 3850 Geofgrey Rd.
Indika is a Canadian artist whose style ranges from the representational to the abstract. Drawing primary influence from natural surroundings, his paintings and sculpture are unified by a style of layering, repre- sentative of humanity's complex relationship with our
- environment. His works reflect the breadth of his
experience and perpetually-evolving technique, developed over decades of extensive travel and study
- f both ancient and contemporary culture.
13 Christine Hood 6560 Anderson Drive
Using metal, ceramic, textiles, willow, cane and found
- bjects, my work is a combination of functional wares,
sculpture and installation pieces in a palette of neutral, white, black and grey tones. Often raw and organic, for me making art is an intuitive process and my recent work is heavily influenced by Hornby life ...local sourced willow, pit firing and nature finds are among some of the materials that are incorporated into my art pieces.
14 Mary Preston 5115 Kirk Rd.
Mary Preston (aka The Pane in the Glass) has been creating glass art for the past 20 years. The richness and beauty in the colour and texture of stained glass make it a wonderfully satisfying medium in which to
- work. A natural extension of this love of glass has led
to acquiring a kiln which allows for the expansion into the field of Fused Glass. Fused glass can be either decorative or functional. Terry Preston (aka The Knotty Old Man) has been carving for more years than he cares to remember. Kayaking and walking the ocean shores has brought him an endless supply of “knots” which all seem to have a face waiting to be released. Terry will be carving through the day and invites you to visit and ask questions about the carving process.

3 Susan Crowe 3130 Cannon Rd.
After completing a college course called “craft and design,” Susan Crowe mailed ofg letters to potters who hired helpers. She got a job on Hornby Island, in 1980, throwing pots despite never having heard of Hornby! Most of her work, over the last 41 years, has been functional stoneware pots and tiles. Two of her children also make pots. This January she started an adventure into stained porcelain, learning the Japanese technique called nerikome.
3 Ekta Nadeau 3265 Gunpowder
Purple Feet studio is Ekta’s creative playground, born from a passion for clay and art. She builds one of a kind pieces fuelled by her imagination. She dedicated the last 15 years to working with clay but her path began when her dad made her a throwing wheel from an old record player. Peter, musician and painter, has begun a new series of paintings—musicians on vinyl records. He also paints with glazes the famous bicycle on some of Ekta’s pottery mugs. Both Ekta and Peter participate in shows on Hornby and some of their work can be seen at the studio and the summer market.

The Harrison Studio Gallery has been open since 1996
- fgering paintings and crafts by Tina, and fine wood
turning by Rusty. Tina works in oils, acrylics, and
- watercolours. Rusty turns using local Western Maple.
6 Sabine Taylor 6495CentralRd.

Painting trips took her to France Spain and Sicily. At UBC Sabine studied art history concentrating on North West Coast Art, while volunteering in the Museum Of Anthropology. Continuing photography and advanced drawing in Emily Carr, also computer design, printmaking, three-dimensional design, pottery and painting at the former Malaspina College.
7 Robin de Lavis 2750 West Carmichael
I am a colourist with a background in Classical Animation, Russian Iconography and Design. Lately I have been exploring the possibilities of computer software like Photoshop and Painter to explore the notion of landscape. Dylan Thomas sums up what I experience well: “I make one image—though ‘make’ is not the right word; I let, perhaps, an image be ‘made’ emotionally in me and then apply to it what intellectual & critical forces I possess…”
8 Karen Elder 4975 Arthurs Rd.
Bent-Tree-Studio was designed and built by my husband in true Hornby fashion using recycled materials including driftwood accents. I am truly inspired by many great artists but especially the Group of Seven and Emily Carr and painting nature in my own unique way with heart and soul is my forte. I am enthralled with the beauty of the BC Westcoast so tend to paint mostly seascapes, landscapes, flora and fauna. I paint with oils, acrylic and watercolour.
9 Elspeth Armstrong 5455 Porpoise Crs.
Elspeth is an acrylic landscape artist who uses bold and dramatic colours to capture the beauty of the Canadian landscapes. Fields of colour, deep blue waters and thick lush forests all lead you into something that feels familiar-the comfort of nature. it’s all about colour. Elspeth appreciates and welcomes visitors to her studio. She is interested to hear how her work is viewed through other’s eyes and experiences.

- Discussion
Presenta8on
- Scope of tonight
- Why do we need a Public Gallery?
- What is HIRRA Owned-Land?
- Why should we all seriously consider this?
Discussion
- What pros and cons do you see?
- What concerns have we missed?
- What do you want from this Gallery?
- Other thoughts?
What can you do?
- Come to HIRRA mee8ngs and vote: September
12th.
- Write LeWers of Support to HIRRA and HIAC.
- Express your informed considera8ons to HIAC
and HIRRA.
- Express your vision to us.
OK? Here we go.
Scope
- We are not proposing a final design or a
binding agreement next Wednesday.
- Tonight we are reviewing where we are with
the project.
- Tonight we are reviewing our proposal and
ra8onal for a site—only a site—on HIRRA land.
- In the discussion, we will have 8me to range
more widely.
“HIRRA Owned-Land”
- HIRRA NRT Crown Land (HIAC, Teen Trailer,
Market, Heathcare, Clinic)
- HIRRA Owned-Land (Credit Union, RCMP, Hall)
- *HIAC is finalizing its NRT Crown Land
- HIAC NRT Crown Land
HIRRA NRT Crown Land HIRRA Owned- Land
Switch over to PDFs
Benefits
- A $400,000 minimum investment into this
property.
- An ownership or lease model that has
examples to follow (Credit Union, RCMP, HITS).
- A community asset on community land.
- Enhanced recogni8on of this property as
Hornby’s cultural hub.
- Further fulfillment of HIRRA’s support of
Hornby’s culture.
Benefits
- Cost savings and maximizing the use of HIAC
funds and resources to get the most out of the project (sep8c, electrical, parking, etc.)
- A moment for genuine long-term building
planning for parking and any future developments.
- Poten8al minimiza8on of ecological impact
including landscaping and treeing.
Benefits
- Poten8al for aWrac8ng funding from bodies
like Canadian Heritage to invest even more into HIRRA property.
- HIAC would have more governance support
from HIRRA, a mature and well established ins8tu8on.
- HIAC and HIRRA could see new tax-based
funding retained from our island taxes that go
- ff-island to fund cultural ins8tu8ons in town.
Benefits
- HIAC forming a closer rela8onship with HIRRA
would improve the sustainability of HIAC’s
- pera8ons by helping enhance stability.
- A structure that does not replicate exis8ng
infrastructure (dance space, film space, auditorium, sep8c, electrical, etc.), and is therefore more efficient. This follows our Official Community Plan precisely.
- The capacity to conduct commercial ac8vity
including sales that respect our community’s economy.
Benefits
- HIAC will retain its Crown Land and use this
space for essen8al parking, a sculpture park, and out buildings for storage of legacy works for the Gallery’s permanent collec8on.
- A highly visible loca8on for the Gallery that is
a natural fit with the Hall’s func8oning.
- The addi8on of a new, special, and cherished
place on Hornby.
Benefits
- Built to seismic standards, this new building
will provide an essen8al mustering point during an emergency.
- The proposed Gallery will have a minimal
impact on exis8ng structures. If the community would like to con8nue developing the cultural hub, phase II could include a redevelopment of the HITS area, stage, and facili8es area, and would entail more close collabora8on.
Considera8ons
- Change should be managed with community
at the centre of the process.
- The Hall and its architecture are beloved. The
Hall, much like the school, is the heart of our
- community. Any new building would have to
compliment exis8ng structures.
- Simultaneous ac8vi8es at The Hall and Gallery
would need strategies for people and traffic.
Considera8ons
- There will be governance and ownership
maWers to an8cipate, and we are fortunate to have a number of working models to work from to guide us.
- Islands Trust will have requirements we need
to meet.
In Sum
- What would this new building bring?
- permanent collec8on
- year-round programming
- programming for youth & professionals
- a mustering sta8on in an emergency
- new capacity for mul8disciplinary events including
programming that moves fluidly between theatre, dance, and all forms of art within the Halls environs
What is next?
- Sept 12: A vote at the HIRRA general membership
mee8ng on the footprint for the building. IF the mo8on passes for the site, then:
- October 10: A vote on the rough design for the
new Gallery at the HIRRA general membership mee8ng.
- November+: further community input collec8on
and HIRRA approval on more final design plans
- Meanwhile we will secure greater funding
beyond $400,000 and further community input
- n those possibili8es
- Late Spring 2019: Break Ground
What can you do?
- Come to the next HIRRA mee8ng and vote:
September 12th, and bring your friends.
- Go online and review our updates that will go up
following this mee8ng.
- Come and talk to us, our doors are open.
