VISIONS GF THE NORTH SHORE

Happy memories

Contributing Writer
ARNOLD Shives grew up in Vancouver, drawing at’
an early age and pursuing art through highschool.
ife attended the San Francisco Art Institute where he received
a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1966. He completed his Master of Arts
at Stantord University in 1968 Arnold works in a variety of media:
sculpture, paintings, watercolours and is noted for his print mak-
ing. Galleries in both Germany and Canada represent him. His
works are held in numerous corporate. and public. collections
around the world. Arnold has exhibited both locally and interna-. ”
tionally in a variety of solo and group exhibitions. ;
Growing up in Vancouver, Shives spent a great deal of ime
exploring the North Shore mountains. He has lived on the North
Shore for over 20 years and currently resides in the Distict of
North Vancouver. :
The vista of the landscape and childhood memories of summer
holidays influenced his choice to interpret Horseshoe Bay. “A
hundred times or more I have boarded a ferry from Horseshoe
Bay. So many happy memories of holidays on the shores of
Vancouver and Bowen Islands. As for the Horseshoe Bay panora- ; --
ma — it will never lose its attraction. For me the crags and peaks
of Howe Sound are the cradle of an abiding interest in moun-
taineering and outdoor sports. I never tire of viewing the rocky
summits and the white jines of the plunging snow gullies.”
“Chiax”, the Squamish name for the Horseshoe Bay area,’
means sizzling noise. It was used as a camping spot by Squamish
people seeking shelter from the north winds when travelling along -
the coast.. Ir was also a good place to gather herring eggs.
Horseshoe Bay has long been a major recreation and fishing area. -

on the North Shore. Hotels, picnic grounds, and tea rooms: -°°.:”
