At Catching Stars Gallery, it’s been buzzing, like bees to blossoms, with creative energy and new arrivals, just in time for our busy Spring season. Already, the visitors have come out in great numbers and are enjoying the experience of being amongst the creations of over 50 artists now in the Gallery.
Several artists have joined us recently and we are pleased to introduce them and their collections. Recently welcomed into the Catching Stars artist family are these artists:
That Lady Heather – Resin art; cutting boards, pendants, candle holders, flower preservation
Studio on Tenth – French linens, greeting cards, and market bags
Elaine Brewer-White – Ceramic platters, jugs, mugs and whimsical sculptures
Mary Rose Drescher – Stunning abstract landscape oil paintings
Stop in and see their work in person and learn more about their stories, processes and inspirations while you visit. Each of our artists has a fascinating story behind their creative processes.

Our little island has become a very popular place to celebrate special occasions, and weddings and grads are big ones! From very special rings and jewellery, handcrafted and custom made tiaras, hats and fascinators, to art and collectibles for a new home, there is something for every occasion. And for those who prefer to choose for themselves, a gift certificate is a perfect option. Watch for our listing in the new Bowen Island Events Guide.
This year, we have added an exciting new Feature Artist opportunity. Artists may apply to showcase their work for one month at the Gallery on our Feature Wall. Feature artists receive a larger percentage of their art sales and will receive extra marketing and promotions of their work. It is a great opportunity to showcase and sell more of their art, have an event related to the show, and introduce new collections to our clientele.
Artists can apply for a Featured Artist session by contacting us through the website submissions page or email [email protected]. Dates will be determined at the time of the application.
The gallery will soon celebrate its fifth anniversary and another successful year of operation so watch for the announcement of the CSG Fifth Anniversary Party! As owners and directors, Emilie Kaplun and Kathleen Ainscough and Catching Stars Gallery’s collective of amazing artists are grateful for the support we have had from our valued patrons throughout these unpredictable years, and we are hopeful that we will continue to thrive as we embark on the sixth year of this Gallery.
