The channel of the Hornby Island Arts Council.
The Hornby Island Arts Council was established in December 1998 and is in a period of profound transition. Having moved between insecure and inadequate spaces for two decades, we stand prepared to establish an Arts Centre.
Hornby has an outsized reputation in the arts and may have the highest per-capita density of artists in all of Canada.
Hornby Arts’ goal, like most charitable non-profits, is to improve quality of life. Our constitution mandates that this is accomplished by: increasing and broadening opportunities to appreciate, enjoy and participate in artistic and cultural activities through events and workshops, improving the standards of artistic expression in our community, and establishing an Arts Centre where diverse forms of creative expression can be supported.

Art Island S2E4: Bob Cain - Photographer
In this episode of ART ISLAND, filmmaker Zsofin Sheehy sits in studio with Bob Cain, a self-taught photographer whose journey began at the age of five in Vancouver, BC. After moving to Hornby Island in 1972, Bob balanced work in building houses and highways while never putting down his camera. Immersed in the island’s vibrant community of artists and eccentrics, Bob documented over 10,000 moments of Hornby’s nature, life, and culture. Sifting through some memorable highlights of his collection, Bob shares how photography has been a lifelong passion and an essential part of his identity, capturing the spirit of the island and the people he loves.
[About Robert H. Cain]
Born in Vancouver, B.C. in 1944, Robert (Bob) Cain began his photography career with managing Focus Prints, a professional photography business in Vancouver from 1965 to 1970. In 1972, he relocated to Hornby Island where he continued his photography practice, creating work which has been exhibiting since the 1970s and published in numerous books and magazines. While his expertise spans architectural, advertising, product, and studio photography, his true passion lies in documentary and fine art. Over nearly five decades, he has documented the lives, activities, and transformations of his fellow Hornby Islanders.

We all should be able to live like she is. She’s a very fortunate lady. I loved watching her.
Es geht mir zu Herzen! Danke!
Beautiful…Hornby history caught by the eye of Bob Cain…PRICELESS!
Beautifully done!👍🏽✨
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Hornby Island family. They are the fabric of Mother Earth. They keep her healthy and she keeps you healthy.
I live 11,585 kms away from Hornby Island. And these photographs are being enjoyed here. Thank you 🐨
Beautiful when an artform becomes who you are and it doesn't matter if you get paid or not, it's just what you do. Love this,
makes you feel like life is like a film strip
I have throughly enjoyed every single video I’ve watched in this series. Thankyou to the artists and video makers.
O.m.g what a beautiful Lady. I would love to read her life story. ❤
I came across this video by chance and I'm glad I saw this person. The world is really beautiful and especially when such people exist.❤✨
What a beautiful creature
Thank you for your comment!
Your filmmaking is so inspiring!! Love how you put together the clips with her talking and slowed down parts. The video itself is a work of art. Beautifully done!!
🌹💖
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Dearest heart, Alina…the contents of this video is incredibly beautiful… SO peaceful… Almighty God has blessed you SO incredibly with amazing gifts and talents! He is The Author and Designer of everything beautiful…each flower, each tree, each colour, every detail, everything SO intricate that just can take your breath away…Almighty God created you and all of the beauty all around you! It’s SO precious to listen to you tonight and that you Deeply Appreciate all that God has made SO beautifully! Thankyou for sharing your heart…❤
Merci beaucoup pour ce partage. I love colors too. What a simply life. Being old don't afraid me now. 😊Mervellous artist! 🙏🌹🌹🌹
What a heARTfelt spirit. Alina, shows us what it means to live a creative life. Your garden is absolutely stunning! The healing energy of both your equisite garden of flowers and your stunning jewelry is clearly created with the love that is in your heart and soul. As an artist, my heart broke when you talked about change. I have lived through this my entire life, I'm almost 65. The artists create a culture of community and creativity, wealthy folks find it, think it's an amazing place to live and all the artists are forced out. This is happening in my current community...yet again. So many of my friends are having to leave now. So what will be left? Not the cool, creative culture that made it a wonderful place to live. I pray this doesn't happen to Hornby, although looking at housing prices on Zillow, I fear it already has. Thank you for sharing your life story with all of us.🌺
Superb and sublime!
THANK YOU for a beautiful video, a beautiful human being, beautiful flowers...a wonderful garden
His name is Indika and he gardens. Does no one else find this hilarious??😂
Anne, I too allow the art I'm working with to direct the process, select the colors and materials. It's a wonderful way to experience ourself - being in harmony with what is beyond our learned beingness.
How inspiring! 😊 Your outside is aged (beautifully) but your inside is as youthful and vibrant and the same as it ever was. ❤️
Beautiful reflections on the consciousness of nature.
Bellísimo!!!
Very well said. And that reminds me…it’s time for another tree. Thank you.
i'm always surprised at the amazig people I meet through UA-cam. Tony I loved listen to what you have to say about life. Your view of humanity is well understood by me through my heart. It is the modesty that you radiate... and your open face shows the possibilities of becomming human. Thanks for the good tunes you give into this world. And thanks to the film team who makes it possible to show such people,
Thank you, very nice...enjoy every moment, the present, in all its fullness...we are lucky...happy summer 🙏🌸🏵🌺🌼🌷🥀🌹
Amazing film , loved every minute!
Her artwork is stunning, I would love to own a piece and hang it in my studio.
Wonderful! It is so precious to meet people like Anne Ngan - even if on the UA-cam channel. She became at once close to my heart...or my soul? I can't feel the differens. I appreciate the way she lives, the way she walks, the way she talks, the way she paints.....it's a wonderful silent und strong message she represents with her being just like that. It feels like ablessing for me to have met her... even we live so far away from each other. I didn't feel the distance. Thank you for the opportunity of this connection.
je viens de vous découvrir de l´autre cÕté de l´equateur sur ma plage désertique brésilenne, où je peint comme vous depuis toujours. C´est bon de rencontrer des ãmes soeurs dans notre long parcours. Oui, tout est dit. La solitude volontaire, qui apaisit nos vieux jours et donne du carburant pour notre créativité.
🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🦋🦋🦋
Wow!!! Just magical ✨️ 🌱🌳🪻
How lucky you are to have grown up on such a wonderful island and living with a beautiful community. I wouldn't move either. Lovely human being. Thank you for sharing 😊 love to the kitty 😺
She is very special. I love her work.
❤❤❤
Love the vibe of this artist woman❤❤❤
I have one of your paintings Vass Eva you gave me 23 years ago when you kindly hosted me with Nicole Baikie before a healing show I gave, it is one of my most treasured possessions and now hangs in the house I built on Skye in Scotland, it is the one of the card players in a cafe in Hungary, I look at it every day and it speaks to the core of my souls life journey in this incarnation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your life and work, hopefully soon I will be able to buy some of your work.
Everything about her is precious: her soft accented voice. Her spirit of calmness. I'm thinking she's using watercolor colored pencils?
Alina is the most pure and beautiful soul I have seen in a long time. Her jewelry is stunning. Thank you for sharing. The world needs to hear about more beautiful people like you.
🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏 GRACIAS
Wonderful thank you 🐨
❤❤❤
THANKS.........🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a lovely woman! She made smile all through the video! Thank you!
