Hello. Thank you for visiting our website. We are David and Carmen Chamberland, owners of Blue Mind Gallery. David is originally from Sherbrooke, Quebec (where we lived before Bear River). Myself, (Carmen), I am from Penticton, British Columbia. In February 2013, we visited Nova Scotia. In June 2013, we moved here. Why? Sometimes you just want a new adventure, and this seemed like the perfect place. I think it has something to do with that "blue mind" stuff...

Truthfully, for us, Bear River is a special spot. First of all, we bought our first home here:

Okay...the photo is a little old. This is what our home looked like in the early 1900s...

Second of all, we got married here:

Awww....shucks.

Third of all, we adopted our cat here:

This is Gorby. David named him - don't ask. He was a stray that moved in after David fed him steak and seafood chowder. As you can see, he has truly made himself at home...

And now, we have opened Blue Mind Gallery here:

Opened June 1, 2018.

What can I say? Life is good. We wish you all the same happiness that we have been so privileged to find here, in Bear River, our little village on stilts.
