Cariboo Artists Guild (CAG) members have stepped out of their comfort zones to create a group show of wildlife art at Showcase Gallery.

They've gone to the forests, jungles and the sea for their subjects, which include everything from elephants to whales.

CAG spokesperson Sharon Isaaks notes wildlife is not familiar territory to many members of the group.

"It's challenging doing animals. There's fur involved."

Contributing artists are Carolyne Herperger, Tom Godin, Kathy Crawshay, Susan Kruse, Cheryl Gauthier, Juanita Corbett, Reta Munro, Gisela Gruning and Cindy Wickingstad.

The wildlife show will remain on display until April 2.

CAG has a current membership of 43, and with membership, comes the opportunity to display their art in Showcase Gallery. Members also have access to a variety of different workshops, which are offered throughout the year.

The cost to join is $15 a year. For more details, contact Parkside Art Gallery at 250-395-2021. Information about the guild can also be found on the Internet at www.gobc.ca/100-mile-house-travel/cariboo-artists-guild_4059.

Showcase Gallery is located in the main lobby of the Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.
