WORDS | NANCY PINCOMBE 

Mesmerizing close-ups of natural subjects, particularly flowers, combined with a strategic use of focus, give Sheila June’s photos a painterly 

feeling. Delicious smears of colour are juxtaposed with minute detail. You’ll really feel you’ve seen these subjects. Yet an element of abstraction 

gives these images a wonderful versatility. Sheila’s background in painting shows clearly, but she has turned her hand (and eye!) to almost 

everything you can think of that involves visual art. She feels that art is universal and that all mediums are equally valid and full of potential. She 

should know, she’s mastered so many. These include painting, decorative painting, photography, real estate photography, video production 

(keepsake, real estate, and video-from-still for personal and business), home staging consultation, and wall hangings that incorporate 

macramé, weaving, and feathers. She even makes accessories and jewelry. Sheila is self-taught and finds inspiration everywhere, in cracks 

and decay as much as in new growth and light. Living on the Sunshine Coast, Sheila finds that “everything here has . . . inspired creating. It is a 

beautiful, spiritual, magical place to live.”

ANNA MAY BENNETT 

“Ever since I was a child, I’ve been drawn to the sea: the vastly changing landscapes, the many textures, both surrounding and underfoot, and the 

varied weather. From the calm to the storm, season to season, I am excited to capture and share these experiences.” 

Born and raised on the east coast of Scotland, Anna spent her childhood immersed in the creative arts. The youngest daughter of a textile 

artist and aircraft engineer/folk singer, her creative expression was encouraged and supported. Upon graduation, Anna studied art under the 

guidance of Mark Weighton at Chethams School in Manchester, England. She then went on to complete a Higher National Diploma in Public Art 

in Edinburgh, Scotland. Falling in love with a young Canadian while travelling in Greece spurred her to travel to Canada in February of 2000. They 

married in 2001 and are raising two sons in Powell River on BC’s Sunshine Coast. 

PHOTOGRAPHY | ROBERT COLASANTO 


“Living on the Coast in such a diverse and vibrant 

community and building a life with the people I love gives 

me the opportunity to explore my preferred work. My studio 

in the historic Townsite offers an inspiring space in which to 

create my current body of work, and as one who benefits 

from the skills, courage, and determination of those who 

contribute to this amazing community, I am happy in return 

to share my perspective with others.” 

Anna’s solo show, “Shorelines and Skylines,” runs August 

25–September 18 at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery.

Drama is the first impression. Motoko really works her canvasses and, while tending toward more restricted palettes, her 

use of colour is masterful. You’ll see glowing depths, wonderful, inspired blending, and dollops of milky, almost chunky 

colour that really pop out at the viewer. Each segment of her diptychs, triptychs, and four-panel paintings shows strong 

stand-alone composition in deceptively simple colours. Motoko’s large acrylic paintings are minimalist, with a strong 

sense of design, with influences from abstract impressionism as well as Japanese classical painting with its emphasis on 

nature, simplicity, and harmony. 

In Motoko’s words, “I paint what I feel.” And she feels increasingly drawn to more restrained palettes and to the essential 

influences of nature (earth, water, wind, fire). She also feels strongly that “this is what the world needs” and hopes her 

work invokes serenity and focus in the midst of clashing and contradictory influences in contemporary culture. 



Motoko was born and raised in Japan and 

moved to Canada when she was 29. She 

has been operating her successful gallery 

on the Sunshine Coast, in Sinclair Bay, since 

2005. Zen philosophy greatly influences 

her life and work. Some Zen principles 

include understatement, the avoidance of 

clutter and the nonessential, and the use of 

asymmetry and empty space. 

Visit Motoko’s gallery and you’ll find the 

entire experience is informed by these 

principles. Her gallery space is bright and 

uncluttered, with a charming water feature 

just outside. Up some rough stone steps is 

a rock garden with a dramatic cliff looming 

protectively alongside. Motoko likes to take 

her morning coffee there to watch the light 

play on the wild plants and moss and to feel 

the energy of the stone before she begins 

her day’s work. 

And she is working! Motoko’s Fine Art gallery 

will feature an exhibition of new paintings 

August 6–14. 

MOTOKO’S GALLERY IS AT 4590 SINCLAIR BAY RD, GARDEN BAY, PENDER HARBOUR. VISIT HER WEBSITE AT WWW.MOTOKO.CA TO SEE MORE OF HER ORIGINAL ART.

The 5th Annual Power of Paint Exhibition takes place August 12–14, 2016, at the Seaside Centre (5790 Teredo 

Street, Sechelt, BC) with an opening reception Friday, August 12 at 5 pm. The unique quality of Eleven Equal Artists 

as a group is in their varying styles and deep respect for one another. After fifteen years of meeting regularly to 

share their work, they conspired to exhibit together on the Sunshine Coast in what has become an annual event. 

This year’s collaborative piece is “What Does Power of Paint Mean to You?” With their commitment to give back to 

the community, the proceeds from this event will help finance Eleven Equal Artist Bursaries. All artists will be in 

attendance during the show: Morley Baker, Josefa Fritz Barham, Todd Clark, Elizabeth Evans, Greta Guzek, Carol 

LaFave, Kim LaFave, Ian MacLeod, Cindy Riach, Nadina Tandy, and Marleen Vermeulen.

The Sunshine Coast Arts Council presents “Works in Wood,” an 

exposition of pieces created by Sunshine Coast woodworkers. 

The exhibition, curated by furniture designer Tim Clement (“The 

Chair Maker”), will be on display at the Doris Crowston Gallery in 

the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre August 10–September 11, 2016. 

The show features the work of both amateur and professional 

woodworkers—some are students, new to the art form, while others have 

spent years refining their skills. A delight to the eye, the exhibit covers 

an incredible range of “works in wood,” from furniture, cabinets, boxes, 

and bowls to musical instruments, sculptures, carvings, boats, and more. 

THE SUNSHINE COAST ARTS CENTRE IS LOCATED AT 5714 MEDUSA IN SECHELT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON “WORKS IN WOOD” AND THE SUNSHINE COAST ARTS COUNCIL, 

CHECK THEM OUT AT WWW.SUNSHINECOASTARTSCOUNCIL.COM.

Pender Harbour has been hosting its impressive and enthusiastically attended jazz festival for 20 years! 

2016 dates are September 16-18, and the aim, as always, is to bring us as many styles and eras of jazz as 

possible. New this year, don’t miss Gospel Hour on Sunday morning (featuring The Sojourners, should be 

amazing) at the Music School. See the detachable “Program at a Glance” on the back of this page for the many 

outstanding artists! This year private venues such as The Restaurant at Painted Boat, the Garden Bay Pub, 

the Grasshopper Pub, and Emmelle’s Bistro are booking their own gigs. Check their websites or www.phjazz.ca 

frequently as bookings firm up. This community is serious about music. Aren’t we lucky?

Now that summer is here with its lazy pleasures, its long sunsets, and bright 

water, music lovers are anticipating the 12th Pender Harbour Chamber Music 

Festival. The third weekend in August—the 18th to 21st—means sublime 

concerts in a former Forestry building above the harbour in Madeira Park. 

Every year it gets better and better, so the question is . . . 

What can you expect this August? A gathering of highly acclaimed musicians, 

to begin with. Violinists Mark Fewer, David Gillham, and Joyce Lai. Violist 

Ian Clarke. Cellist Simon Fryer. And COULOIR, the dynamic harp/cello duo 

of Heidi Krutzen and Ariel Barnes. Our Rising Tide initiative—a free concert 

to showcase young performers—will bring together the Coast’s own Hanna 

Crudele (violin), along with violist Rae Gallimore and pianist Jenny Dou. 

Artistic Director—and pianist extraordinaire—Alexander Tselyakov devotes 

his magic to both the keyboard and the elegant festival programming. 

Opening night, Thursday, August 18, means Opening Doors—a grand first 

concert culminating in Robert Schumann’s gorgeous Piano Quartet in E-flat 

Major. Friday follows with the Rising Tide musicians playing a broad selection 

of chamber repertoire in a free concert, A Brightening Breeze; Strings of 

Summer Light that evening promises to enchant, to take us dreaming under 

starlight. On Saturday afternoon, In the Key of Blue offers something for 

everyone, from the classical tradition to Duke Ellington. And that evening, 

Summer Dances, with Kikta, Schulhoff, and Dvořák, will transport us all. To end 

the festival on Sunday afternoon, Paired to Perfection, a wonderful selection 

of virtuosic pieces, culminates in Mendelssohn’s magnificent Octet for Strings 

in E-flat Major. 

Afternoon concerts are at 1:30 pm, evening ones at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $30 

per concert or $15 for students 18 and under.

YOGA al fresco 

Energy, flow, suppleness, power, non-attachment, tenacity, surrender, vitality. 

Nature has it all figured out. We just need to follow her example and be part of it. 

There’s no better way than outdoor yoga. Brigit Garrett at Lakeside Yoga in Madeira 

Park agrees that “this is the ultimate way to practice yoga . . . exposed to the 

elements (on) which Ayurveda (Science of Life) and yoga are based.” 

Outdoor yoga classes take place on the shores of stunning Ruby Lake, so an 

after-yoga swim is always an option. And lunch on the Ruby Lake Resort patio 

is highly recommended. Classes go ahead rain or shine and on rainy days are 

held at the sheltered but open-air Ruby Lake Amphitheatre. Visit their website at 

intouchtherapeutics.ca and read some of the testimonials; they’ll make you want 

to find time for more yoga in your life. SUP (that’s Stand-Up Paddleboard) yoga 

combines all the elements of outdoor yoga with an intense exploration of balance, 

concentration, extra attention to breath, and appropriate alignment—there’s 

no faking it. But ultimately water is a forgiving element and gives us the perfect 

example of flow. Garrett says the challenge is responding and adjusting to “the 

feedback from your body and the board.” And, as with everything, “A good sense of 

play and humour are helpful.”

the goddess of spring comes home... 

P E R S E P H O N E 

INTERVIEW BY NANCY PINCOMBE 

KEZIA NATHE 

We all know the Persephone story: Demeter’s lovely 

young daughter, Persephone, the symbol of Spring, 

gets snatched by the lonely Hades and taken away to 

the Underworld. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, 

particularly grain crops, is so full of despair at the loss 

of her daughter that she stops her work. All the flora 

on earth withers. After some negotiation Persephone 

is allowed to return to earth for half the year. And this 

gives us our growing seasons: fallow and fertile. 

ZOOM has been talking to Dion Whyte, General 

manager at Persephone Brewing Company, about 

Persephone’s impact on our community. 

For many Coast residents, the arrival of Persephone Brewing Company in Gibsons 

felt a lot like the arrival of Persephone the goddess. That is, Spring, something 

intensely desired and long awaited. Can you comment on the welcome and level of 

enthusiasm our community has shown for Persephone? 

The community’s welcome and support have been overwhelming. When we first 

took possession of this property and were quietly building our hop yard along 

North Road, our co-founder, Brian Smith, walked out to the billboard sign one 

morning and spelled out “It’s a Beer Farm.” That was the trigger. All of a sudden, 

the traffic passing by had the answer as to what was being developed here, and 

the excitement and interest were amazing: people pulling over to take pictures, 

honking as they drove by, yelling their support—even driving onto the property 

to ask questions. The weekend we opened, we were overrun and sold out of our 

growler bottles in two days, borrowing more from Townsite Brewing up the Coast 

to keep rolling. Since then the community has truly adopted Persephone as its 

own, making full use of this family-friendly, farm-based social hub to gather, hold 

fundraisers, attend events, and build community.

Sure, we’re keen consumers of your product, but you’re 

seeking to involve the community in other projects as well. 

Can you give us some examples? 

The Sunshine Coast Association for Community Living—a 

local non-profit providing services and programs to people 

living with developmental disabilities—is a part owner of 

Persephone Brewing and has its own social enterprises on 

this site (including Bottle Me, vegetable gardening, and a 

flock of laying hens). The broader community gets involved 

in fundraising events that generate funds for SCACL or that 

support farm enterprises at the brewery. Examples include 

hops planting and harvesting, our Tough Kegger adventure 

race, our annual anniversary party, the Sunshine Coast Craft 

Beer Festival, and more. Currently we are running an equity 

investment campaign. Our goal is to attract 1000 investors 

to raise capital for equipment. Individuals can purchase 

shares in Persephone for as little as $250 and join our family 

of owner/shareholders. For more details visit our website at 

persephonebrewing.com. 

Other examples of community involvement include 

participating in the Art Crawl, hosting an apiary on site, 

providing our greenhouse to Backyard Bounty (a local organic 

farm) at no cost, and running a pop-up farm gate Friday to 

Sunday through the summer with three other local farms. 

Finally, we host NUMEROUS fundraisers here at Persephone 

for local non-profit organizations, at little or no cost to them, 

and provide discounts on beer purchased for fundraising 

activities to help them achieve their goals. We also host many 

cycling-related events such as the BC Enduro Bike Race, 

Gibsons Grind, Bike to Work Week wrap-up parties, etc. 

Let’s talk beer. What’s your most popular brew? And what new 

brew are you most excited about? 

Our most popular beers are our Goddess Golden Ale and 

Persephone Pale Ale. The former is an English-style summer 

ale, light in colour, with a bready malt character and just 

enough hop flavour and aroma to keep the die-hard craft 

beer drinker interested while remaining approachable for 

those of us who might be used to the more neutral-flavoured 

light lagers. The Goddess Golden Ale is of course named after 

Persephone herself! Our Persephone Pale Ale is a North 

American-style pale ale with a schwack of citrus hop aroma 

and flavour, balanced against a delicious malt backbone. 

Both beers are great year-round. As for beers I’m most 

excited about—such a hard question! We’ve never brewed 

a beer I didn’t like. Our Dry Irish Stout is a nitrogenated stout 

(meaning it pours with a low carbonation and a creamy head 

like a Guinness) and has won gold at BC Beer Awards twice. 

Our Double IPA is a personal favourite and, in my opinion, the 

finest beer of its style in BC. It holds its own against any other 

Double IPA out there.

Sunshine Coast shoppers face a few challenges. 

Lots of small businesses start up and get us 

excited with what they could offer. Then it’s not 

uncommon to watch them struggle and disappear 

after a year or so. And we might occasionally 

feel as if we’re a captive market for some of the 

larger businesses. If we’re a little cynical, it’s 

understandable. That’s why ZOOM likes to send a 

shout-out to the businesses that really serve our 

communities and consistently offer us what we 

need. IGA Madeira Park is one example: 

“The staff cares about my shopping experience. 

Almost every time I go in, at some point, Troy asks 

me if I’m finding everything that I need.” 

” . . . I’ve been shopping there since 1981 and have 

seen such an evolution! Fresh fish! A bakery with 

great breads . . . And maybe the most impressive 

thing is that they now carry a small selection of the 

lovely Portneuf cheeses from Quebec.” 


OUR NEIGHBOUR... OUR STORE 

Troy and Lorie Callewaert have just marked their 10th 

anniversary running the Madeira Park IGA. The store, 

which has been around for forty years, has received 

some significant upgrades. You’ll notice new cake 

and sandwich cases, a produce section makeover, 

and the entire back of the store now sports a stateof-the-art 

LED closed-door refrigeration system that 

will drastically reduce energy costs. Troy and Lorie 

actively seek opportunities for their store to sponsor 

community events such as the jazz and blues festivals 

and the Mountain Grind. As well, they’ve gone for 

innovative and unusual projects. The store has 

developed its own recipe for heritage sausage, one of 

the fifteen kinds of sausage it makes in-house. Each 

time a package of these is sold, one dollar goes to 

the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society. A similar 

sausage recipe is being developed to support the 

Pender Ocean Discovery Station (PODS) project. 

Loyalty is at the heart of the store’s success. Callewaert 

understands that it is his job to stock what people 

need, and he takes that seriously. Conversely, many 

locals feel a responsibility to shop there and support 

the business, sometimes consciously bypassing other 

stores on the Coast to shop closer to home. Callewaert 

loves it when locals bring their guests and visitors to 

the store as if it were a tourist attraction, to see all that 

“our” store has to offer. 

42

“It’s my store and I love it and am glad they provide to our small 

community. [This customer easily lists off the names of eight people who 

work there.] . . . Great people.” 

IGA Madeira Park is an important provisioning stop for boats (and even 

float planes) heading up or down the Strait and has received enthusiastic 

write-ups in boating magazines. It is an easy stroll from the marina; 

shoppers find all they need and are pleasantly surprised by their welcome. 

It’s a common refrain, whether from locals who visit the store several 

times a week or cruisers who pass through once a season: Troy greets 

them by name.

Drama and durability. Comfort and creativity. Soul and setting. In other words, a 

custom home built for inspired and artistic owners. ZOOM has decided to revisit 

Ravenrock (first featured in the May–June 2010 issue), a Pender Harbour home 

nestled in an arbutus haven atop a mountain, with views to die for. 

The mountainside is fragrant with the warm sugary smell of buddleia and arbutus, 

and the silence is total. No, not total. There’s the white-crowned sparrow, and 

the towhee, and the chatter of tree swallows. Garter snakes rustle through 

leaves on the forest floor. This is nature’s place, and in such a setting almost 

any building would seem jarring. Not Ravenrock. This house positively embraces 

and celebrates its location. The driveway turns into steep and textured concrete 

as it sweeps between moss-covered rocks toward the house. The house itself 

is minimal and modernist, kissing the rock at the back and jutting, as the land 

slopes sharply down, toward the view in the front, very like someone standing at 

a viewpoint and gesturing to friends to come see what he sees. 

44


Entering at the lower level of the house, one is struck 

(the first of many times) by the happy partnership 

of form and function. This is the main reception area 

(which doubles as the media room), and its floor 

and walls are concrete, the house’s foundation. Dark 

and textured custom cabinetry (by Nicolas Meyer— 

nicospacecraft.com) on one entire wall provides 

storage and display. A splash of burnt sienna behind 

the media screen is the only colour, effectively echoing 

the arbutus trees just outside the glass doors. 

There’s a dramatic transition from the darkened lowerlevel 

room up the stairs to the main part of the house, 

bright and open, where, through one whole side of 

floor-to-ceiling window, the view grabs the visitor by the 

shirt front and doesn’t let go. Sweeping and complex, 

the scene takes in Texada Island and the distant and 

changeable Salish Sea, with Vancouver Island beyond. 

Gerrans Bay looks quaint from here, with docks and 

boating traffic, and no fewer than three (Garden Bay, 

Hotel, and Mixal) lakes are visible. The topography 

is just as interesting with its bumps and curves and 

imposing Mt. Daniel just off to the left. Weather can 

be seen approaching from a distance, and stormwatching 

from here must be spectacular. What cannot 

be seen are neighbouring houses. Not one. 

This home’s owners understand that it’s all about the 

view and are careful never to compete with it in their 

décor choices. The colours are purposely neutral and 

muted, always echoing what is outside: concrete, stone 

greys and lichen greens. When a bit of visual interest 

is desired, texture is employed. Basketry and weave 

are used as decorative features throughout, along with 

woven, undyed rugs. There is nothing fussy here. The 

owners (with graphic design backgrounds) prefer the 

harmony of consistent, simple, practical, and durable 

furnishings. 

Durability is a strong theme in this home. Polished 

concrete floors inside give way to aluminum decking 

outside the huge glass sliding doors. Thick glass railing 

on the deck (by Instaglass of Sechelt), with no metal or 

wood, leaves the view unobstructed. 

This home was designed by a busy couple, to be 

just what they need and no more. Consistent with 

the newest trends in home-building (smaller, more 

efficient, nature-embracing), the high ceilings and 

glass make it seem spacious while the size is in fact 

modest at a little under 2000 square feet. 

46



The owners lived on site in a small rustic cabin for a year, 

getting a real feel for the setting before putting their 

heads together with Econ Group of West Vancouver (www. 

econgroup.ca) to design the floor plan. They waited several 

years before having the custom, built-in cabinetry installed, 

because they wanted to be sure of what they needed. 

And there are some features still to be installed (window 

treatments, for instance, and a dropped ceiling to define the 

kitchen space in the open-concept room) that they are not 

sure they want. Simplicity can be addictive. 

The house has only one official bedroom, which enjoys 

the same astounding view, located beyond the great room 

behind offset walls. The only inside door in the home is to the 

second bathroom. This “no-doors” design adds greatly to the 

feeling of simplicity and flow. For occasional house guests, a 

Murphy bed in the back “flex area” (a multi-purpose space: 

foyer, reading room, private nook . . .) next to the second 

bathroom provides a convenient, comfortable sleeping 

space. A separate carriage house about 50 meters down the 

driveway functions as garage, storage, and office (keeping 

clutter and stress out of the house). This can double as guest 

accommodation as well. The 7.5-acre property has room for 

a few small sleeping cabins, each with privacy and views, if 

desired. 

While overnight guests at Ravenrock might be a rarity, parties 

are not. The spacious deck can easily accommodate fifty for 

a cocktail party. A piano takes pride of place in the great 

room. But not just any piano. This is a Yamaha Clavinova 

digital grand piano. A handy microphone plugs in and, just 

when you think things cannot get any more wondrous, you’ve 

got a karaoke party. This is simply too much fun. 

The owners of Ravenrock never forget to be considerate of 

the other mountainside residents. They’ve placed a little 

birdhouse at just the right height up a fir tree directly beside 

the house. From there an unfledged tree swallow pokes his 

head out and sings saucily while enjoying the view.
