1. Grow with Art presents:
Eagle Hunters: A Photographic Journey of Migration through Time with Louise Radmore
Tuesday, February 26, 2019
Announcements: 7:00 p.m.
Presentation: 7:30 p.m.
255 Centrum Blvd, Room 340, Orleans
Louise Radmore was one of eight photographers chosen by the BBC to join filmmaker and photographer Timothy Allen of Animal Planet to follow the Kazakh eagle hunters of Mongolia from February to March 2017. These Eagle Hunters are from a culture that time has forgotten. They live off-grid, in a brutal environment, in much the same manner as in the days of Genghis Khan.
To document these images, Louise was required to live with a Kazakh clan, during the challenging 150 km. winter migration through the frozen Altai Mountains in February, at temperatures of -30”celcius. She will share with us her amazing photographs and backstories, illustrating the daily life of a nomadic family at their spring camp in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia.
Louise has been a student of the photographic arts for almost 50 years, most recently studying with the School of Photographic Arts Ottawa for the past 8 years. She has travelled extensively to photograph life in its different cultural contexts.

Patrick Imai is a self-taught sculptor who has carved for more than 40 years. He has dabbled in other art forms: sketching, painting and glass (stained, fused, flamework), but he always returned to carving. He carved in wood, whittling small animals and figures with a pocket knife or with palm chisels, then in the late 90’s, Patrick tried stone carving. He was hooked by the ease of working with soapstone and by the colours and texture of the polished stone. He has since carved alabaster, serpentine, limestone, selenite and marble. Patrick has a passion for carving bears. He works to evoke human emotions and movement in his carvings.
Patrick is a member of Arteast, Arts Network Ottawa, the Kanata Civic Art Gallery and the National Capital Network of Sculptors.
