Kathleen creates mixed media paintings and three-dimensional pieces that draw inspiration from memory and the flow of time. Her artworks juxtapose architectural structures, weathered surfaces, and nature altered by the elements.

Catching Stars Gallery and Copper Spirit Distillery are collaborating in March to celebrate two local businesses. Check out our feature display which highlights works in Coppers and Greens in celebration of the Distillery’s colours and artworks from Catching Stars Gallery on display at the Distillery. Stop by the Gallery to enter the draw for an invitation to an exclusive Whiskey Tasting event at the Gallery with an Artist Talk by David Graff.

February Feature Artist - Michael Epp

Artist Reception: Saturday, February 8, 3 - 5

I would like to think that art is a reflection of spirit, a tangle of emotion, a spark from within, that eventually ignites into something far beyond the realm of reality; it has the ability to inspire one to believe in the unbelievable. That being said, I have no words to describe the soul of my work. It will speak to everyone differently, and my hopes are to rekindle the magic held within us all.

Check out our collection of photos from February’s month of love! Visitors to the Gallery posed for photos on our Purple Chaise Lounge. Enjoy!

December Feature Artist - Katie Mainwaring

Artist Reception: Sunday December 22, 2 - 4 pm

Katie Mainwaring is a Bowen Island Artist who loves to find the magic in everything. Her work is largely reflective of her beautiful surroundings, but also by the world of fantasy hidden beyond.

November Feature Artist - Bob Miller (aka Bob the Carver)

Artist Reception: Saturday, November 9, 2 - 4 pm

“Woodworking has been a passion for me from my earliest years, especially in terms of grain texture and colour.  When I first saw a duck decoy, I knew I had to carve some and then moved into creating other birds, notably songbirds, owls, hawks and eagles.”

Born in Peru in 1957, Monica immigrated to Canada in 1976, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science and a Master in Landscape Architecture. She also has an Advanced Painting Certificate from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Monica's distinctive style of textural painting, in which she applies thick layers of acrylic paint and medium with palette knives, results in a 3-D effect, suggesting organic energy, flow and movement. At the same time, she uses multiple glazes of colour to produce contrast and harmony, creating lightness, fluidity, and ephemeral atmospheric effects.
