Propeller

✨ Meet Mo So, one of Propeller Art Gallery’s talented artist members, whose fine art photography explores the world through a distinctive lens.

“My images are mostly printed on canvas. My dual life as a surgeon and photographer is in a constant state of flux. I hide behind my pseudonym on the basis of shyness about my art and to maintain some separation of my two personas. Photography and travel have always been major imperatives in my life. In recent years, my profession and my art have started melding. The natural draw during travel toward landscape and architectural photography has morphed into greater interest in evocative street and human photography. I operate on faces so the metamorphosis was likely inevitable.

Capturing the magic moment in a photo begins the process. Transforming the capture into powerful, relatable imagery aims to evoke a visceral and vibrant experience. My vision of my images employs a heightened realistic style that preserves the recognizability to the viewer while encouraging their own imagination and storytelling to look beyond the surface complexity.”

🖼 Vantage Point II by Karen Curry, part of our current exhibition Where We’re at Now – Another Conversation by The Gibson Girls

Always a lover of shorelines Curry’s move to Gabriola in 2009 has fueled her interest in all aspects of shores, erosion & dynamic atmospheric changes. Her colour-saturated paintings blur the lines between representation & abstraction. These contemplative paintings explore unique interpretations of movements of water & distant atmospheric views.

🖼 Where We’re at Now – Another Conversation by The Gibson Girls | A group show featuring art by M.J. Steenberg, Snaige Sileika, Liz Parkinson, Karen Curry, and Yael Brotman

Where We’re at Now – Another Conversation includes new environmentally-based artwork by each of the artists, as well as two group projects. In Roundtable (2025), the artists experimented with the circle in form and substrate while working together outdoors, as they had on canoe trips for thirty years. The group’s 2018-2022 mail art collaboration (600+ images) will also be shown in a new interactive iteration.

Through their long history together, the Gibson Girls each embody the ability to support, challenge, and learn from one another. This exhibition opens their conversation to others as a gesture of hope through communication and understanding in our continuing fraught times.
