Voices from the vanishing – Art Exhibition by Debra Garside

Award winning artist and one of Canada’s most accredited horse trainers, Debra Garside brings Voices From The Vanishing to the Ladysmith Gallery. 

Open until June 28, visitors will get to view stunning photographs and bronze sculpture work. Debra is internationally recognized for her extraordinary wildlife imagery, particularly her intimate and powerful portraits of wild horses. Debra captures moments few others can—revealing the personality, relationships, and resilience of animals living free on the landscape. 

Debra is the only professional photographer to be granted overnight expedition access to Sable Island in all four seasons. She has spent more than 90 days on the island spanning many trips from 2009 to present.  Debra has exhibited at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, DC , and the Natural History Museum in London, UK. 

Artist, horsewoman, writer, conservationist, adventurer. 

These are just a few words one might use to describe Debra. Debra’s award-winning work has been exhibited in such prestigious venues as the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington DC, and the Natural History Museum in London, UK.

Debra’s 30 year background as one of Canada’s most-accredited horse trainers givers her a unique perspective into her wildlife subjects – particularly wild horses – as she produces intimate and nuanced photographs. 

Throughout Debra’s career, she has been the recipient of many international photography awards. More importantly, she has garnered the respect of naturalists and zoologists for the in-depth studies of her animal subjects and the lands they inhabit. Debra’s tendency to delve deeper is one of the attributes that helps her stand apart. 

VOICES FROM THE VANISHING runs from June 18th to 28th at the Ladysmith Gallery. Open daily from 10AM-4PM.
