At the Edge of the Country: Painting Newfoundland on ARTSY

There are places in Canada where the land feels like a backdrop, and then there are places where it steps forward and begins to speak. Newfoundland is one of those places.

When I arrived, I wasn’t looking for paintings. I was looking to experience something I didn’t yet understand.

Newfoundland is not quiet, even in stillness. The wind carries stories. The architecture leans into the weather. The colour of the houses feels both practical and poetic, standing against fog, rock, and sea like signals. Everything feels shaped by endurance, by presence, and by time.

In this body of work, I am not trying to document Newfoundland. I am trying to translate the feeling of being there.

The paintings are built from fragments: the angle of a roofline, the rhythm of clapboard siding, the particular blue of the Atlantic under a low sky. These elements become a kind of visual language, one that sits somewhere between memory and observation. I return to them, repeat them, shift them slightly, allowing the work to echo the way a place settles into you over time.

There is also a tension I keep coming back to. Newfoundland feels both distant and deeply connected. It exists on the edge of the country, yet it holds a strong sense of identity that resonates far beyond its geography. That tension interests me. It mirrors something broader in my work about Canadian identity, about how place shapes who we are and how we see ourselves.

These paintings are part of an ongoing exploration of that idea. They are not conclusions. They are entries into a conversation.

In the studio, far from the coast, I find myself returning to Newfoundland again and again. Not to recreate it, but to understand what stayed with me. What insisted.

This body of work is a response to that pull.

The Art of Brandy Saturley – Now Available in England

There’s something fitting about this moment, Art in England. A Canadian artist whose work explores identity, place, and cultural mythology now finds a foothold in a country rich with its own layered iconography. While the work of Brandy Saturley has always been available directly from the studio, it has also been carefully placed with a select group of respected galleries across Canada. With established representation in Banff and Newfoundland, the next chapter unfolds across the Atlantic.

Art in England

Royal College of Art – Battersea Painting Studios

England is now part of the map.

This international expansion arrives through Nicholas Penn Fine Art, a contemporary gallery in Royston, Hertfordshire, just outside Cambridge. Known for its thoughtful curation and commitment to both established and emerging voices, the gallery offers an environment where collectors can encounter work with clarity and connection rather than spectacle.

Their ethos is simple but increasingly rare: art should be lived with, not merely observed.

For UK collectors, this marks a unique opportunity to engage with a distinctly Canadian voice whose work blends pop modernism with narrative depth. Saturley’s paintings draw from the visual language of Canada, its landscapes, symbols, and cultural touchstones, but they resonate beyond geography. They invite interpretation, memory, and personal storytelling.

Brandy Saturley at Royal College of Art – Battersea, UK

The inaugural presentation in England carries a particularly fitting rhythm. This first selection of works is inspired by Saturley’s time in the UK, including her studies at the Royal College of Art in Battersea, and her long-standing affinity for The Beatles. That influence hums beneath the surface, not as nostalgia, but as visual cadence. Familiar yet reimagined. Cultural echoes translated into paint.

For collectors, these works offer more than aesthetic appeal. They represent a convergence, Canadian perspective meeting British cultural legacy, filtered through an artist whose practice is rooted in travel, observation, and storytelling. As Saturley’s career continues its evolution from national recognition to an increasingly international presence, this moment offers UK collectors early access to a body of work that is both grounded and expanding.

A beginning, not an arrival.

The first five paintings are now available through Nicholas Penn Fine Art.

Enjoy The Art: Three Canadian Art Galleries & Current Events

This month we have three Canadian art galleries representing and showing original paintings of Brandy Saturley. From themes of Wildlife in Toronto with John B. Aird Gallery, to Beautiful Still Life in Oakville at Summer & Grace gallery to the Polar Bear King and landscapes of Alberta in Banff with our dedicated art dealer Willock & Sax, original works from this Victoria based artist are continuing to fascinate audiences across Canada. Here are three events with Canadian Art Galleries this spring.

Wildlife with John B. Aird Gallery in Toronto, Canada

The world’s population has tripled in roughly seventy years. In that period, people encroached on habitats that had previously only been occupied by WILDLIFE. Artworks by 70 artists, juried by Montreal-based gallerists André Laroche and Louis Joncas. Online juried slide exhibition with playlist and PDF catalogue.

It is wonderful to have work on view with these three exceptional Canadian Art Galleries, two being in Ontario and my dedicated art dealer and representative in Banff, Alberta. Offering my clients the ability to view and purchase my work across Canada is an important part of expanding my reach as a Canadian Artist. From commercial art galleries to public art galleries, I am proud to show and sell my work through these phenomenal galleries.

In nearly two decades as a professional full-time Canadian artist, 17 of those years self-representing, my contributions have been numerous and oftentimes undocumented as I believe an important part of my responsibility as a professional Canadian Visual Artist is to be an educator.  As artists in this Canadian Art community I believe our role is to educate every person we encounter about Art and the Arts in Canada. When I travel for my art career, I see myself as an ambassador of sorts for the Canadian Arts Community and Canada itself. It is a privilege to pursue a full-time professional career as a visual artist, and I do not take this opportunity or the importance of arts and culture lightly. Art is more than something beautiful to decorate your wall, so very much more, it is the fabric of humanity and a legacy that will live on long after we have exited this world.

A nice representation of the work this Canadian painter has become known for over the past two decades. Not only is Banff a stunning natural destination nestled into the Canadian Rocky Mountains, it is also a destination for art lovers with the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, numerous private and public art galleries such as the Walter Phillips Gallery and the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies.

It will be interesting to see where my recent experience making art at the Banff Centre and my time spent in Banff capturing locations through photography and video will feed new work to be made over the coming months.
