Take Home Something Special
John M. Horton - A private studio experience
John is not only a 45-year recipient of the Canadian Coast Guard volunteer award, doing safety and preventative patrols on the Delta Lifeboat with our commercial and indigenous fishery, but is a world renowned marine artist.

Last year the Maritime Museum of BC here in Victoria supported John during his 90th year by exhibiting a major showing of his work and so we wish to pay them back by offering this special activity on which you can bid!

Item: A day with John in his studio in Tsawwassen (10 minutes from the ferry terminal) to see how he develops and creates his masterpieces. If you wish we will pick you up from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal so you do not have to bring your car, take you to the studio where you will see a work in progress and also view a small gallery of his completed works. The studio where he paints holds a complete wall of marine books and is decorated with ship models and other marine items.

We will serve you lunch and take you for a little tour around the neighbourhood before returning you to the ferry terminal.
