Lawrence Walrond is a well respected (now retired) teacher and photographer who has resided in Nanaimo since September 1970. He has travelled throughout Canada, USA, Great Britain, France, Monaco, Spain, Central and South America and the Caribbean. In all these places he is inspired by the many landscapes, in his words, ?of this wonderful place we inhabit.?

This photographic collection was mainly taken in the central Vancouver Island area, but there are also stunning views of Waterton Lakes in Alberta , Haida Gwai, and Mayne Island. He revisits many of these areas in different times of the year to observe changes in season and light according to time of day.

The photographs are printed on archival canvas with high quality archival ink which makes them look painterly. The amazing colours in his works are not artificially enhanced. This ability to capture breathtaking scenes comes from a fifty year love affair with photography and a lot of experimenting and practice. It also comes from a practiced and artistic eye.

Please come and see Lawrence?s work which is on display from February 1st to February 29th. Opening reception is February 17, 7pm at the Nanaimo Arts Council Gallery next to Sears in the Nanaimo North Town Centre Mall, everyone is welcome. More information concerning Black History Week can be found at www.nanaimoafricanheritagesociety.ca.
