Why You Should Follow Me on Artsy

If you enjoy my paintings, follow my work, or have ever wondered what it would be like to collect one of my paintings, there is another place where you can stay connected to my work: Artsy.

For me, Artsy is more than another place to display paintings online. It is a platform built around discovering artists, exploring their work and connecting collectors with art they love. And if you follow me there, you’ll have an easy way to keep up with what I’m painting and when new work becomes available.

Follow me on ARTSY

A Window Into My Work

For more than 20 years, I have been painting my way across Canada, from the west coast to the east coast and many places in between.

My paintings have explored Canadian landscapes, wildlife, hockey, people, coastlines and the many visual details that make this country so distinctive. In recent years, my focus has been returning home to Vancouver Island, where the Salish Sea, coastal landscapes and wildlife have become an increasingly important part of my work.

My practice is always evolving. A new painting might begin with something I encountered on a hike, a memory from Newfoundland, a particular quality of light on the coast or one of those distinctly Canadian moments that catches my attention. Artsy gives you another way to follow that journey.

Why Follow an Artist on Artsy?

Following me on Artsy means you don’t have to keep checking back to see what’s new.

When James Baird Gallery adds new paintings to my Artsy profile, following me helps you stay connected to those updates. For collectors, this can be especially useful when a new painting becomes available. You may discover a painting that speaks to you immediately. Or you may see something that reminds you of a place you’ve travelled, a landscape you love or a piece of Canada that means something to you.

Sometimes the painting you weren’t looking for is the one you end up remembering.

For Collectors of Canadian Art

If you’re building a collection of contemporary Canadian art, following the artists whose work interests you can be a wonderful way to stay engaged with their evolving practice. My work is represented by galleries, and selected paintings are available to collectors through Artsy. My Artsy profile brings together a selection of my available work and provides another way to explore my paintings beyond my website and social media. Whether you’ve been collecting my work for years or you’re simply discovering it for the first time, I’d love for you to follow along.

Follow Me on Artsy

I don’t know exactly where the next painting will take me. Maybe somewhere along the coast of Vancouver Island. Maybe into the mountains. Maybe back to Newfoundland. Maybe somewhere completely unexpected. That’s one of the pleasures of being an artist. The next painting is always waiting to reveal itself.

If you’d like to see what comes next, I invite you to follow me on Artsy. It is a simple way to stay connected to my paintings and receive updates when new work becomes available.

Ten Contemporary Painters Brandy Saturley Loves

I keep a list. Contemporary Painters to Love.

It is a growing collection of contemporary painters whose work catches my eye, stops me for a moment, and makes me want to look a little longer. Some artists land on the list because of their colour. Others because of their way of simplifying a subject, their graphic sense of composition, or the sheer confidence of their mark-making.

Recently, I looked back at my list and noticed something interesting. There is a definite visual thread running through it. I seem to be drawn to artists who aren’t afraid of colour. Artists who use vivid palettes, strong contrasts and bold shapes. I like figurative paintings and landscapes that are simplified in form. There is often something almost graphic about the way they render their subjects. Their paintings don’t simply describe the world. They interpret it, edit it and turn up the visual volume.

Sound familiar? Perhaps.

But I wouldn’t necessarily say these artists influence my own work. Influence is a complicated thing, and I have spent more than twenty years developing my own visual language around Canadian iconography, landscape, popular culture and the things I encounter in my travels. What I can say is that I love looking at their work. And as an artist, I believe that matters.

Artists are collectors of visual experiences. We are constantly looking. We notice colour combinations, compositions, gestures, textures and ideas. We file things away somewhere in the back of our minds. Sometimes those observations find their way into our work. Sometimes they simply remain there as things we admire. In my case, these are artists whose work I appreciate enough that I could happily live with a painting by them.

Contemporary Painters to Love

Logan Maxwell Hagege – Running Wild – Oil

Ten Contemporary Painters to Love

1. Logan Maxwell Hagege

Hagege’s work immediately appeals to my love of bold, graphic imagery. There is a wonderful tension between recognizable subject matter and a highly designed approach to painting. His work has the visual punch of contemporary illustration while retaining the physical presence of paint.

2. Tony Thielen

Thielen has a wonderful ability to take everyday subjects and give them a strong sense of place and personality. His paintings have a confident graphic quality that makes the familiar feel fresh.

3. Ed Mell

There is something wonderfully monumental about Ed Mell’s paintings. His simplified forms, dramatic landscapes and powerful use of colour create an almost sculptural quality. He understands that you don’t need every detail to communicate a landscape. Sometimes the right shape says everything.

4. Malcolm T. Liepke

Liepke’s paintings demonstrate just how expressive a limited subject can become in the hands of a confident painter. His figures, interiors and portraits have atmosphere, gesture and a strong painterly presence. His work reminds me that contemporary painting can be both sophisticated and emotionally immediate.

5. Jenn Mann

Jenn Mann’s paintings have a visual intensity that I find compelling. There is colour, pattern, surface and energy, but also a sense of mystery. Her work invites you in visually before revealing more of itself.

Contemporary Painters to Love

Jenn Mann

6. Eyvind Earle

Although Earle’s career reaches back well before what we might call contemporary painting today, I can’t leave him off this list. His influence on visual culture is enormous, and his stylized landscapes remain extraordinary.

His trees, mountains, skies and architectural forms are reduced to elegant shapes and patterns. Colour becomes structure. Nature becomes design.

As someone obsessed with landscape, I find that endlessly fascinating.

7. Jen Stark

Jen Stark’s work is a joyful explosion of colour, pattern and movement. Her paintings and visual works seem to operate somewhere between abstraction, nature and optical experience.

There is an incredible sense of rhythm in her work. It reminds me that colour doesn’t simply describe an object. Colour can become the subject itself.

8. John Capitano

Capitano’s work has that immediate visual impact I find so appealing. Strong colour, simplified forms and graphic compositions create paintings that communicate quickly but reward longer looking.

That combination is harder to achieve than it looks.

9. Mitchell Fenton

Mitchell Fenton’s work has a wonderful balance between recognizable imagery and contemporary abstraction. His approach to shape and colour creates paintings that feel both familiar and unexpected.

I am always interested in that space between representation and abstraction. It is a place where a painting can begin with something recognizable and then take the viewer somewhere else entirely.

10. Zach Atticus

Zach Atticus brings another kind of energy to the list. His work demonstrates how contemporary painting can borrow from the visual language of popular culture, graphic design and illustration while still feeling distinctly painterly. That intersection is particularly interesting to me.

Zach Atticus Between Worlds, 2025 Oil on panel 30 x 24 x 1.5 in

Contemporary Painters to Love: What Does This List Say About Me?

Perhaps the most interesting part of making a list like this isn’t the list itself. It’s what the list reveals. Looking at these artists together, I see a fascination with bold colour, simplified form, strong composition and recognizable imagery. I see artists who aren’t afraid to make a visual statement.

And maybe that shouldn’t be surprising.

My own work has always been driven by my fascination with Canadian iconography. I love taking something familiar and looking at it again through a different lens. A hockey mask. A Hudson’s Bay blanket. A polar bear. A west coast beach. A Newfoundland house. The subject may be familiar and the painting doesn’t have to be.

I also think there is something valuable about knowing what you love as an artist and not necessarily what you want to paint like. What you simply love to look at, there is a difference. I don’t need to paint like Logan Maxwell Haege, Ed Mell or Jen Stark to appreciate what they are doing. In fact, I think being able to admire another artist’s work without immediately trying to absorb it into your own practice is an important part of being an artist.

Sometimes you just get to be the audience, and sometimes you get to be the collector. This list is still growing, and I’m sure I’ll discover another painter tomorrow who deserves a place on it. For now, these are ten contemporary painters whose work I would happily spend more time looking at.

And yes, I would happily hang one on my wall, too.

Who would be on your list?

My Paintings Are Frequent Flyers: Selling Art Worldwide

Lately, I’ve come to a funny realization: my paintings may travel more than I do. I am selling Art worldwide.

I’ve spent much of my career travelling across Canada and beyond in search of landscapes, stories, people, and the visual details that eventually find their way onto my canvases. Travel has been an important part of my artistic practice, from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and many places in between.

These days, I’m spending more time close to home on Vancouver Island, exploring the landscape I live in and painting the West Coast. My paintings, however, are still on the move.

Over the past couple years, paintings have left my studio and travelled to private collections in Ontario, Vancouver, Edmonton, Banff, Boston, California and even across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom. My work has also found homes in collections across Canada and the United States.

Selling Art Worldwide

The Art of Brandy Saturley ready to ship worldwide

There is something wonderfully strange about knowing that a painting that began in my studio is now living somewhere I may never see. And that brings me to something collectors occasionally ask me about: how do I feel about selling a painting I really love? A collector once asked me, “Are there pieces you secretly hope will not sell so I can keep them?”

There are paintings that are particularly difficult to let go of. Perhaps they represent an important moment in my practice, a place I loved painting, or simply a painting that came together in a way that surprised even me.

I often think of my paintings as my children. My job is to raise them, nurture them, teach them everything I know, and bring them to a certain point. Then let them go. Once a painting leaves my studio, it begins a life of its own. It becomes part of someone else’s home, story, and collection. I may no longer see it every day, but I know it is out there somewhere, hopefully living a wonderful life beyond my gaze. And perhaps that is the greatest reward of selling a painting, I get to make another one.

Art Beyond The Studio: Selling Art Worldwide

The painting that leaves creates space for the next idea, the next story, the next experiment. The studio keeps moving forward, even as my paintings are travelling in directions of their own. I especially love receiving photographs from collectors showing me their new artwork installed in its home. It is a glimpse into a chapter of the painting’s life that I wasn’t there to witness.

So while I’m spending more time in my studio in Parksville, my paintings continue to be frequent flyers. They’re travelling highways and air routes, crossing borders and oceans, joining collections from coast to coast and beyond. I’m always curious about where they’ll go next. And, like any artist-parent, I hope they’re having a wonderful time out there.

Where Collectors Find Art

Buy Original Art, Buying Art

Where Are Art Collectors Finding Art Online Today?

One of the questions I hear most often from artists is: “Where do art collectors find Art today?”

It’s an important question because the answer has changed dramatically over the past decade. While galleries remain an essential part of the art world, today’s collectors are discovering artists in far more places than ever before. Recently, I asked a group of active art collectors where they are currently finding art online. Their responses were fascinating, and perhaps not entirely surprising.

Online Marketplaces Still Matter

Several collectors mentioned established online marketplaces as their first stop when searching for artwork. Platforms such as Artsy, Artnet, 1stDibs, Saatchi Art, Art Majeur, Invaluable, LiveAuctioneers, and even eBay continue to attract serious buyers.

Each platform serves a slightly different audience. Some specialize in contemporary art, others in secondary market works or antiques, while auction platforms give collectors access to everything from emerging artists to museum-quality pieces.

One collector from South America noted:

“Artsy, 1stDibs and Saatchi Art… Artsy must be great for Americans, but shipping to other parts of the world is absurdly expensive. 1stDibs has the best customer service.”

It was a reminder that the buying experience extends well beyond the artwork itself. Shipping, service, and trust all influence purchasing decisions.

Where Collectors Find Art

 

More Collectors Are Buying Directly From Artists

One response stood out because it has become increasingly common.

“The art I’ve bought has been directly from artists’ websites and Instagram.”

This is a trend I’ve noticed myself over the past several years.

Collectors are becoming more comfortable purchasing directly from artists. A professional website, active social media presence, and clear information about available work often create enough confidence for a collector to reach out without ever stepping into a gallery.

For artists, this means your website isn’t just an online portfolio. It’s your gallery, your sales representative, and often the first impression a collector has of your work.

Discovery Happens Everywhere

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the responses was that collectors rarely rely on a single source.

One collector summed it up perfectly:

“Museums, galleries, art publications, social media, auctions, books. Art pops up everywhere if you’re paying attention.”

Another shared:

“The joy in collecting is less about purchasing than looking at tons and tons of art along the way.”

That idea really resonated with me.

Collectors don’t simply wake up one morning and buy a painting. They spend months, and often years, immersing themselves in art. They visit museums, attend exhibitions, follow artists online, read publications, browse auctions, and save images that inspire them.

By the time they purchase, they’ve often been following an artist’s journey for quite some time.

Where Collectors Find Art

Art Fairs Continue to Introduce New Artists

Several collectors emphasized the importance of art fairs and exhibitions.

In New York City major events such as The Armory Show, Affordable Art Fair, Works on Paper, and the IFPDA Fine Art Print Fair remain valuable places to discover new artists and galleries.

One collector shared:

“I usually walk out with at least a handful of new artists and galleries to follow.”

This speaks to something many artists overlook.

Even if a collector doesn’t buy immediately, every exhibition creates future opportunities. Discovery often comes long before acquisition.

Referrals Are More Powerful Than Ever

Friends, curators, galleries, and trusted publications continue to shape collecting decisions. Recommendations from someone whose taste a collector respects often carry more weight than paid advertising.

Building relationships within the art community remains one of the most valuable forms of marketing an artist can invest in.

What This Means for Artists

If there’s one lesson from all of these responses, it’s that collectors don’t exist in one place anymore. They’re discovering art through search engines, social media, online marketplaces, galleries, museums, auctions, newsletters, publications, and recommendations from fellow collectors.

The artists who consistently attract collectors are usually visible across several of these channels; A professional website, an active social media presence, gallery representation where appropriate and participation in exhibitions and art fairs.

Stories that help collectors connect with the work.

No single platform is responsible for every sale, but together they create multiple opportunities for collectors to discover and follow an artist over time.

Where Collectors Find Art: 10 Best Places to Buy Art online

Here are ten of the best places to buy art online, including platforms that are particularly relevant to Canadian collectors and artists.

  1. Artsy
    One of the world’s largest online art marketplaces, featuring works from thousands of galleries and artists. Ideal for contemporary, modern, and blue-chip art.
  2. Artnet
    Best known for its auction database, market insights, and online auctions. A favourite among seasoned collectors researching artist values.
  3. 1stDibs
    Specializes in high-end fine art, design, antiques, and luxury collectibles. Excellent for collectors seeking museum-quality works.
  4. Saatchi Art
    One of the largest marketplaces for emerging and established contemporary artists, with worldwide shipping and curator recommendations.
  5. Invaluable
    Connects buyers to hundreds of international auction houses, offering paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, and antiques at a wide range of price points.
  6. LiveAuctioneers
    A leading destination for buying art through live auctions. Particularly strong for secondary-market works and estate collections.
  7. eBay
    Surprisingly popular among knowledgeable collectors searching for vintage works, prints, and undervalued originals. Success often comes from careful research.
  8. Art Majeur
    A European-based marketplace where collectors can purchase directly from independent artists around the world.
  9. ArtistsInCanada.com (Canada), a Canadian platform dedicated to original artwork by Canadian artists, making it easy for collectors to discover and purchase directly from artists across the country.
  10. Artists’ Own Websites (Worldwide & Canada)
    Increasingly, collectors are purchasing directly from artists through their personal websites and social media. Buying direct often provides access to new releases, exclusive works, and a closer relationship with the artist.

Honourable Mentions

  • Art Toronto Online Viewing Rooms (during fair season)
  • Art Gallery of Ontario Art Rental & Sales (Canada)
  • Heffel Fine Art Auction House (Canada), Canada’s premier auction house for Canadian and international fine art.
  • Cowley Abbott (Canada), a leading online auction house specializing in historic and contemporary Canadian art.
  • Gallery websites, where many collectors discover artists before making inquiries directly.

One interesting trend that emerged from my conversations with collectors is that very few rely on just one platform. Most discover artists through a combination of online marketplaces, gallery websites, museums, social media, art fairs, newsletters, auctions, and recommendations from other collectors. The journey of discovering art has become just as important as the purchase itself.

Misconceptions About Self-Representing Artists

Final Thoughts

Perhaps the most encouraging insight from the collectors I spoke with wasn’t about a specific website at all. It was about curiosity.

The best collectors are always looking. They read, travel, visit galleries, browse online, attend exhibitions, follow artists, and keep discovering. As artists, our job isn’t simply to make great work. It’s to make sure that when collectors are looking, they have every opportunity to find us.

Vancouver Island Paintings

Buy Original Art, Vancouver Island Paintings

Vancouver Island Artist: Paintings From “Maui North”

I was born on Vancouver Island, and although I travel across North America to show my work, the island has always remained my home. My studio is here, surrounded by the quiet rhythm of the coast. It is where I return after long stretches of travel, carrying stories, imagery, words, and sketches scribbled on scraps of paper. These fragments of other places eventually land in the studio, filling the room with the energy of distant landscapes and conversations.

My fascination with the Canadian psyche may partly come from the feeling of being slightly removed from it. Vancouver Island exists in its own orbit. It is a distinct biosphere, and in Clayoquot Sound we even have a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Life here is shaped by forest, ocean, and a culture that values community and self-reliance.

Visitors are always welcome, but Islanders tend to prefer keeping things small and local. Much of the food culture here is farm-to-table. Farmers’ markets thrive. Independent businesses define our towns. In places like Port Renfrew, Metchosin, Nanoose Bay, Qualicum Beach, and Tofino, the absence of chain restaurants isn’t an accident. It is something quietly celebrated. The local character of these communities is something people here work hard to preserve.

This isn’t about being unfriendly to outsiders. It’s about protecting a way of life that feels deeply connected to the land and sea.

Interestingly, what I make in the studio does not always mirror my immediate surroundings. My work often explores broader ideas of Canadian culture and identity. But over the years, as I traveled the country and reflected on where I come from, I began thinking about what a body of work about Vancouver Island might look like.

When I’m on the road describing where I live, I often call Vancouver Island “Maui North.” We share rainforests, dramatic coastlines, and ocean swells that surfers chase along the shore. The pace of life is different here. There is a quiet hypnotic quality to the landscape. We live on what people like to call “island time,” moving with intention rather than urgency.

Eventually, when it came time to paint Vancouver Island, I returned to its simplest and most defining elements: the beaches, the trees, and the pastimes that shape life along this coast.

Vancouver Island Paintings

Below are ten paintings inspired by Vancouver Island, by Vancouver Island artist, Brandy Saturley.

Vancouver Island Paintings

Beach House Acrylic On Canvas 36 x 48 x 1.5 in Brandy Saturley

These works reflect small but powerful elements of life here: the rhythm of the ocean, the towering coastal forests, and the simple rituals of time spent outdoors. They are visual fragments of a place that continues to shape my perspective as an artist.

Pilgrimage, c. 2025 Acrylic On Canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5 in Brandy Saturley

For collectors, these paintings offer more than an image of the West Coast. They hold a sense of place. Vancouver Island has long captured the imagination of travelers, surfers, writers, and artists, and these works attempt to translate that feeling onto canvas.

Vancouver Island Paintings

Sumo Acrylic On Canvas 16 x 16 x 1.5 in Brandy Saturley

Each painting represents a moment in the ongoing story of the island and my relationship to it. For those who feel a connection to this landscape, collecting one of these works is a way to bring a piece of Vancouver Island’s atmosphere into your own space.

West Coast Solitudes Acrylic on Canvas 48 x 36 x 1.5 in Brandy Saturley

When I am not in the studio, I am wandering with my Nikon camera. I am an observer of life, and find beauty in the most minute details. Over the years I have collected thousands of moments shared, digitally. The gathering of people of people in nature, and at events. I am fascinated especially with the gathering of silhouetted bodies against a bright sky. The forms they create as they gather, creating new beings. This was one of those moments shared on a BC Ferry boat bound for Vancouver Island, and this is my expression of the moment on canvas.

Vancouver Island Paintings

A Sunset Between Us, c. 2019 Acrylic 24 x 48 x 1.5 in Brandy Saturley

The unusual name “Point-No-Point” comes from the original survey of this stretch of coast. It refers to a secondary point of land that is apparent, but doesn’t extend farther than the two primary points on either side of it, commonly referred to as a “point-no-point”.

Investing in Canadian Art

Buy Original Art, Investing In Canadian Art

The benefits of investing in original Canadian art.

Investing in original Canadian Art has offered better returns than cash and other government investments since 1900, research finds. When I buy art I am never looking for a reason, my primary reason for buying art is whether or not I love it, the artwork I buy has to bring me joy in a way that money alone cannot. No matter how much you love your Tesla stock, it can never deliver the same exhilaration as a house packed full of fine original Canadian art. Life is heavy and far too fleeting to not invest in beautiful artworks to surround you.

Investing in Canadian ArtAs a Canadian artist who paints, my day is about infusing beauty, joy, visual and symbolic stories into my canvasses. It is all about passion, and it is worth your investment. I breathe it all in and let it bleed out onto the canvas, creating something original, tangible, and handmade. An original artwork, the only one of it’s kind. How many things can you invest in that are the only one, painstakingly and lovingly rendered to the creators rigorous standards?

While there are many opportunities when it comes to investing, I encourage you to take some of that capital, and invest it in pure, original, real, fine art, from a living artist. The benefits last generations and can be enjoyed over and over, finding something new in the artwork daily. Original Art offers opportunities for discussion, entertainment, decoration, and in turn increases the value of your home or office.

Did you know that the purchase of original Canadian Art, is tax deductible? Another benefit of investing in original fine Art made in Canada. There are various Canadian Tax Deductions on original Canadian Art purchases. It is wonderful that the Canadian government recognizes the importance of encouraging the purchase of original Canadian art. Investing in the Canadian art market and its creators offers many benefits to Canadian businesses large and small. The Canadian Government has implemented tax incentives intended to promote the purchase of Canadian artwork, now is the perfect time to invest in something that makes your business more beautiful.Investing in Canadian Art

Buying Canadian artwork, paintings, etchings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, etc. is considered as an amortization expense for corporations or individuals who operate a business. It qualifies as a tax deduction provided that certain criteria are met. The Canadian tax law allows business owners to purchase and write-off Original Canadian Art in its entirety.  The acquisition of Original Canadian Art is included in the Capital Cost Allowance for all Canadian businesses, so long as the Artist was a Canadian Citizen when creating the work and the work of art is an original worth a minimum of $200. (more from the CRA website about business expenses and art )

The paintings of Canadian Artist Brandy Saturley have increased considerably in value since the Artist began selling her work in 2006. For example a small 30×40 painting when the artist began selling professionally would run about $500.00 CAD, now a painting of this same size would run you $5100.00 CAD. I say small because the artist typically paints large artworks these days of 3×4 feet or larger.

Your investment in original Canadian Art returns MUCH MORE than monetary returns. The number one way to support an artist is by buying their Art. As a collector, you take on the responsibility – and privilege – of carrying on an artist’s story on their behalf.

Offering 400 Paintings – Buy My Art Collection

Imagine this, you develop a relationship with Van Gogh, and he says to you, ‘buy my art collection’. What if Picasso sold you 300 works, in one fell swoop, in his productive mid-career time of life.  Can you imagine being one person with ownership of an entire collection of works by one artist? There have been a few times I know of where an art collector has come forward to invest in the works of one artist, setting that artist up for a lifetime of painting and allowing for the artist to move on to ‘bigger things’ than what they are currently capable of financing.

Buy My Art Collection

Over the past two decades I have been busy building a significant career and a substantial collection of original fine artworks. The work features in prominent and important collections both public and private. I have gained notoriety as the ‘voice of Canadian Pop Art’ and the ‘Iconic Canuck’. My work is equal parts sincere and quirky, and tells stories deeper than are seen. I am known for my bold and vivid palettes, my paintings are not shy and nor am I when it comes to my Art and where I see myself and my work twenty years from now. Between here and there the goal is always to push the boundaries of the year previous. You may have heard of me or seen my work, and you may not of, but if you are reading this, I am now on your radar.

Buy My Art Collection

As I plan for years ahead I realize that I will not be alive forever, and I will need to begin planning stages for what happens to the collection when I am no longer around. At this point my interest is in selling the current entire originals collection (minus the Goalie’s Mask Painting, currently listed at $91,000.00 CAD).

Buy My Art Collection

Maybe you have billions, you own a beautiful home on Maui, or a brand new Rivian. Perhaps you are building rocket ships or electric cars, or a society altering clothing brand. Perhaps you are an entrepreneur who finds talent and things to invest in, at the most unexpected places (like this blog). Rather than the rush of the auction at Sotheby’s, you find excitement in the direct approach, scooping up the entirety of something just before it peaks (or continues peaking).

Buy My Art Collection

Based on current Canadian art market value, 400 paintings from me, Brandy Saturley, would come to the sum of about  $2.8 million dollars (minus the Goalie’s Mask painting) You bring the cash and I will deliver the paintings to your secure art storage facility, home, or business. You have a home worth $2.8 million just sitting in your portfolio? I could be persuaded on a trade. Just like real estate this art collection will continue to accrue in value in a less volatile marketplace.

Maybe you read the Financial Time’s, Globe and Mail, Robb Report, or the New York Times. Perhaps you spend your time perusing Larry’s List or Artsy. Have a new Tesla X Plaid? I would consider a trade for 30 paintings from the Iconic series of original artworks. The works in this collection are uniquely Canadian and would love to collaborate with all of the following brands; Lululemon, Canada Goose, Arcteryx, Hudson’s Bay Company, Fairmont Hotels, to name a few.

All I am interested in is continuing to make Art, continuing to push the boundaries of my work and continue this life as a contemporary fine artist. Continuing to travel to those places that feed the work, such as Churchill to record the polar bears or Fogo Island to capture the east coast of Canada. Have a vacation home on Maui? This is where I would love to spend six months of my year painting.

This collection spans two decades and not only includes the Iconic Canadian paintings I have become known for, it includes early work from travels across North America including; Las Vegas paintings, landscape paintings, wildlife paintings and pour paintings.
