Canadian Artists to Collect

20 Contemporary Canadian Artists to Collect Right Now.

Do professional Artists collect other Artist’s work? Hell yes we do, of course we do, we were born loving Art. In addition to collecting my own work, I collect work by other artists, mostly painters and mostly Canadian. Whether gifted, traded for, bought at auction, online or in a artists gallery, I am also a collector of primarily Canadian Artists. Here is a list of twenty Canadian Artists, I would put in my collection right now!

Terry McCue is an Ojibway artist from the Curve Lake First Nation, in southeastern Ontario. I love his use of colour and subject matter. Bold and graphically pleasing contemporary Indigenous artworks. Canada House Gallery, Banff, Alberta Canada
Marsha Schuld is a multi-media artist working out of her studio in southern Saskatchewan. I love her clay crows and owls as well as her distinctive embroidery pieces. She received a second to none education from the skilled tutors at the Royal School of Needlework (RSN). The result is a proudly earned Certification with Merit from the people who embroider the Queen’s coronation robes. Willock & Sax, Banff Alberta Canada
Luther Pokrant his illustration work is thematic or historical, often of other artists or their work, or the creative process itself. I love his use of colour, his dreamy subject matter and palettes and his visual storytelling. Mayberry Fine Art, Winnipeg
Diana Thorneycroft is a Winnipeg artist and photographer who became known for her installation photographs and re-creations of Group of Seven paintings. She brings humour to the socio-political commentary and stories she is weaving through her detailed photographs. Michael Gibson Gallery, London Ontario
Winnie Truong is a Toronto artist working with drawing and animation to explore ideas of identity, feminism, and fantasy and finding its connections and transgressions in the natural world. I love her drawings, they are precise designs with feminine treasures and stories held within. Patel Brown Gallery, Toronto Canada
Mike Hansen is a senior Canadian artist who uses sound and noise to develop artworks in various mediums. He is well known as an established colourist painter, sound artist and experimental musician. His body of work explores the visualization of sound and noise. While I love his large abstract paintings of colour and form, I was quite intrigued by his upholstered pieces that I slept under at the Pouch Cove residency in Newfoundland. James Baird Gallery, Newfoundland
Andrew Valko is a well-known Canadian Hyper-Realist whose paintings explore the psychological tension caused by observation. Layered with open-ended ambiguity, his compositions subtly weave narratives that imply that there is much more than meets the eye. The works are set in neon-lit motels, drive-in theatres and parking lots; it is in these transient locations that Valko captures intense moments that tell an unfinished story. Louis K. Meisel Gallery, NYC
Daren Whalen more often the subject of his paintings are people. Intensely detailed and beautiful figurative paintings that tell stories of Newfoundland. Emma Butler Gallery, Newfoundland, Canada
Kent Monkman is an interdisciplinary Cree visual artist. A member of Fisher River Cree Nation in Treaty 5 Territory (Manitoba), he lives and works in New York City and Toronto. Gender fluid, Indigenous commentaries on colonialism, realistic visual stories fused with fantasy and magic. Artists’ website.
Kim Dorland’s practice reflects a fascination with the enigmatic Canadian landscape as it comes into contact with contemporary urban experience. The psychological atmosphere represented by Dorland is confrontational and hallucinatory, disrupting conventional ideas that the natural world is a place of solace and contemplation. His paintings fascinate me and I am drawn to the sometimes fluorescent palettes and dark imagery. Another painter that tells visual stories in his work. Angell Gallery, Toronto Canada
Karel Funk lives and works in Winnipeg, Canada. Contemporary urbanism, technical figurative paintings, backs of hoodies, jackets and hats, they draw you into his paintings. The minimalism and cool tones add to the mystery of who might be wearing those clothes. Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver BC
David Pirrie – obsessed with mountain’s, this painter offers a contemporary pop art style take on these marvelous beauties. Meticulously rendered and fused with vivid colours and distinctive patterns. Ian Tan Gallery, Vancouver BC
Eric Louie is a Vancouver-based painter whose vibrant compositions are being recognized by numerous collectors both public and private. His signature metallic, shimmering forms, achieved via many thin layers of luminescent glazes, are central to the virtual worlds he creates. These abstract paintings are somewhat transcendental in nature. They are metallic meditations on the rythyms of nature. Bau-Xi Gallery, Toronto Ontario
Shawn Serfas – thick and juicy, vivid and dimensional, buttery and sculptural, his abstracts are a treat to delve into. – Sopa Fine Arts, Kelowna BC
Catherine Blackburn – contemporary Indigenous beadwork and living sculptures. Artist website.
Curtis Cutshaw – textual abstracts of sculptural collage, makes me want to stare for hours and try and find the words within. Kostiuk Gallery, Vancouver BC
Luke Ramsay – magical landscapes and west coast FERRY tales of form and pastel palettes Madrona Gallery, Victoria BC
Angela Grossman – human figures and ephemeral layers of letters, photographs, addresses, envelopes, postage and cancellation marks. Herringer Kiss Gallery Calgary, AB
Steve Driscoll – creates fine art using unorthodox materials. I find his abstract searing landscapes Hockney-esque and glossy. – Peter Robertson Gallery, Edmonton, Canada
Bob Kebic – Group Of Seven-esque, textural and vivid abstract landscapes. They male you feel alive and joyful. They make you smile every time you see them. Mayberry Fine Art, Winnipeg, Canada

From hyper-realism, to figurative, narrative, abstract, landscape and fine embroidery craft, these are twenty artworks by contemporary Canadian artists I would put in my collection right now.

Buy Art You Love

Art Collector Homes, Buying Art

My Designer says the paintings don’t fit my space – Buy The Art You Love

As a professional artist, I have encountered various relationships when it comes to placing my artwork with art collectors, both corporate and private. Sometimes, I collaborate with art galleries and advisors to find forever homes for the signature original paintings I create. My best advice is always, buy the art you love, that speaks to you loudly and says, ‘buy me’.

Original acrylic paintings by contemporary Canadian painter, Brandy Saturley

One of the challenges I face when working with art collectors who involve interior designers is getting them to view art as more than just decoration. That’s why many clients who love collecting unique works of art choose to work with an Art Advisor in conjunction with an Interior Designer. Designing interiors is one thing, but incorporating real, one-of-a-kind finely crafted works of art requires a different perspective. It involves looking beyond mere décor and creating a world that reflects your tastes and life experiences.

Paintings about Ukrainian Canadian influence by Brandy Saturley

At The Art of Brandy Saturley, we sell art to art lovers. This means we don’t sell art to match your couch (although sometimes, by accident, it may actually match). Instead, we encourage our clients to view art as the most significant feature of their custom-designed interior. The paintings of Brandy Saturley are bold statement pieces and have been collected by corporate and private collectors with varying tastes. They can fit into any type of interior, whether it’s mid-century modern, west coast contemporary, or even a cozy log cabin in the mountains or by the lake.

Dochka Rising, modern self-portrait by Brandy Saturley

Recently, one of my galleries contacted me about a client who expressed interest in a few paintings. After a few communications back and forth, we received the disappointing news that their designer thought the paintings were too small for their space. Although we occasionally receive this feedback, it only motivates me to educate and assist the client further.

You should never refrain from buying artwork you LOVE simply because it doesn’t fit a specific space. Instead, always follow your internal intuition and purchase what speaks to you. There is always a way to incorporate what you love into your space. If you don’t include what you love, your space remains incomplete, like a blank canvas waiting to be filled. Here was my response to the client:

Canoeland, original acrylic painting on canvas, 30×60, Brandy Saturley

“I understand that your designer has expressed concerns about the size of the paintings in relation to your space. While it’s important to consider the visual impact and proportion of artwork within a given environment, I would like to emphasize that buying art encompasses more than just finding something that fits the space.

Art has the power to evoke emotions, stimulate creativity, and inspire thought-provoking conversations. It adds character and personalization to a space, reflecting your unique taste and individuality. While the size of the artwork is certainly a factor to consider, it shouldn’t overshadow the intrinsic value and impact of the pieces you choose.

I encourage you to think beyond the immediate dimensions and focus on the overall aesthetic experience that the artwork can provide. Sometimes, a smaller piece can make a significant impact when combined with other elements such as framing, lighting, or complementary pieces. It’s also worth exploring different arrangements, groupings, or even considering larger pieces as focal points while incorporating smaller artworks as part of a curated collection.

Ultimately, buying art is an opportunity to express your personal style and create a meaningful connection with the pieces you bring into your space. I would be delighted to assist you further in exploring various options that align with your vision and help you create an environment that truly resonates with you.”

Original fine art isn’t merely décor; it’s an investment in a piece of history that exists on Earth specifically for you, the collector. Buy the Art you love, it will always fit your space.

Art Investment on the Rise

Advice for Art Collectors

Art Investment on the Rise

Did you know that Art has overtaken cars and watches to become the fastest growing luxury asset?

Absolutely, art has become a popular and increasingly attractive asset for investors. In fact, recent reports indicate that art has overtaken cars and watches to become the fastest growing luxury asset. The art market has shown impressive growth in recent years, with many investors seeing significant returns on their art investments. With Art Investment on the rise, Here are the top ten reasons why you should consider investing in art:

Tangible Asset: Art is a tangible asset, which means that you can physically hold and display it. Unlike stocks or bonds, which exist only on paper, art can be seen and enjoyed in person, making it a more satisfying and enjoyable investment.
Diversification: Investing in art can help you diversify your portfolio. Art prices have historically had a low correlation with traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds, which means that investing in art can help reduce your overall portfolio risk.
Limited Supply: Art is a finite asset, meaning that there is only a limited amount of it available. This scarcity can help drive up prices, making art a potentially valuable investment.
Long-Term Investment: Investing in art is typically a long-term investment, meaning that it can provide you with a stable source of income over an extended period. Unlike stocks, which can be volatile and unpredictable, art tends to appreciate slowly and steadily over time.
Appreciation Potential: Art can appreciate in value rapidly, especially if the artist becomes well-known or if the artwork gains cultural or historical significance. Many investors have made substantial profits from buying art at relatively low prices and selling them later at significantly higher prices.
Potential Tax Benefits: Art can provide significant tax benefits for investors. For example, if you donate a piece of art to a museum or non-profit organization, you may be eligible for a tax deduction based on the artwork’s fair market value.
Social and Cultural Significance: Investing in art allows you to participate in the cultural and social significance of the art world. Art has the power to convey messages, create dialogues, and spark conversations about important issues in society.
Portfolio Hedge: Art can serve as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations. Since art is a physical asset, it can retain its value even in times of economic uncertainty or inflation.
Portable: Art is portable, which means that you can easily transport it and sell it in different markets around the world. This flexibility can help you take advantage of different opportunities in the global art market.
Emotional Value: Finally, art has emotional value, which means that it can provide you with personal satisfaction and enjoyment. Investing in art can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, allowing you to appreciate and enjoy the beauty and creativity of the artwork.
End of An Era, acrylic on canvas, 2022, Brandy Saturley

In conclusion, investing in art can be a wise decision for many reasons. With its tangibility, diversification benefits, limited supply, long-term investment potential, appreciation potential, tax benefits, cultural significance, portfolio hedging capabilities, portability, and emotional value, art is an attractive and unique asset class. If you’re considering investing in art, it’s essential to do your research, work with experienced art advisors, and carefully consider the risks and potential rewards of each investment opportunity. With the right approach, investing in art can be a valuable and profitable addition to your portfolio. Read more about investing in Canadian Art here.

Tax Refund Investing in Art

Art Benefits, Art For Sale

Tax Refund? Consider the benefits of investing in original art.

Art, Wine, or Concert? have you ever considered the benefits of taking your tax refund and investing it in original art from an independent living artist?

Wine, Art, and Musical investments have offered better returns than cash or government bonds since 1900, research finds. When I buy art I’m not really looking for a reason, other than pure enjoyment of the artwork. I invest in things that I fall in love with, that bring me joy and that enrich my life in a way that money alone cannot. No matter how much you may love your Amazon.com stock, it doesn’t deliver the same jolt as a cellar full of wine or a house packed with original art. Life is hard, and far too short, I want to fill my world with things that make me vibrate from the inside out.

As a painter I live in a constant state of awareness and painting is about making people see, it’s about passion for life and all that surrounds, it is about connection to the vibrational systems of Earth and all it’s beauty. Art is an extension of the nature, no matter what it is we humans create, it is all ultimately inspired by nature. I am privileged to live a life of bleeding my heart out onto the canvas, and writing visual stories for future generations to enjoy.

While there are many options when it comes to investing your tax refund, I encourage you to take a some of that money, and invest it in pure, original, real, art, from a living artist. The benefits last generations and can be enjoyed daily. Buying Art is an investment in your good health and the health of those around you.

Here are five paintings to invest your tax refund into;

Golden Hour in The Heart of Canoeland – two scarlet red canoes meet at sunset, on a lake in Canada.

Mount Temple – A pop art style painting of a great peak in Alberta, this is Mt. Temple.

Dreaming Under Northern Lights – crisp northern air, standing under the aurora borealis.

King of The Polar Bears – A Polar Bear rides on the roof of a scarlet red JEEP wrangler, snow capped Mt. Robson in the background.

Queen of The Polar Bears – a female Polar Bear rides on the roof of a scarlet red JEEP wrangler, stopped on the railroad tracks of prairie Alberta.

Symbolic and painted with a distinctive Canadian ‘pop art’ style, these figurative landscapes bring together realistically painted subjects, set against vividly abstracted backgrounds. Creating stories about the landscape, rather than true to life representations. This collection of paintings features people and wildlife enjoying vast outdoor spaces, something that is plentiful in Canada. Sometimes musical or lyrical in nature, the artist paints stories influenced by her love of the geography of Canada.

Collectors Art

Buying Art, Canadian Art

Collectors Art: curated art collections, ready for you to purchase.

In our first article about curated art collections, we talked about the inception of the idea for these collectors art boxes, crated and ready for you to purchase.

The first release of ‘BOX SETS’ in March was a great success. A limited time offering to own curated art collections; ready to hang in your home, corporate art collection or office. With the first limited time offering, we presented five distinct hand painted art crates filled with various sizes of important original fine artworks, paintings created by Canadian artist, Brandy Saturley. With the first five crates we offered a range of sizes from small artworks in the 12″ x 12″ size to larger artworks such as 30″ x 40″ and 36″ x 36″. These art collections ranged in price from $3000.00 to $29,000.00. With this second release of fine art to collect, we are going bigger, not only in the size of artworks available, but in the size of the art collections contained within each crate.

Crate #6 is a stunner! The paintings of Canadian Artist Brandy Saturley, are stories of the landscape told using brush on canvas. These artworks are vivid love letters inspired by Canada and beyond. This crate contains a wealth of art; not only in value, but also in beauty. The ‘Beauty’ collection includes six original fine artworks painted between 2010 and 2017. Artworks included in this collection feature iconic Canadian landscapes such as; views of Lake Louise from Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Babel, Robson and Assiniboine mountains from the Rocky Mountain range, the commemorative Canada150 tulip, the red maple leaf, and red poppies. These paintings are more than your average landscape painting, much more. Employing the artists’ signature vivid and saturated palette and utilizing abstract form and shape, these landscapes tell stories far beyond the landscapes themselves. Offering you, the collector, the ultimate way to invest in an art collection. Pre-selected and ready to hang, with the finest coated hanging wire professionally affixed to the back of each piece. Making collecting original fine art online, easy.

More than landscapes, I am telling visual stories.

“I am continually and obsessively consuming this world and expressing it vividly on canvas, I am not just painting what I see, I am painting the story of what I see. I am continually collecting experiences, spurned by my travels. My excavation of the world around me begins with exploring, I am continually exploring the world, and drinking it all in, through my eyes, ears, nose and tongue. As I move throughout the world, I am continually collecting and re-imagining. I am a storyteller, but not the writing kind, words are not my forte and reading a book can take years. With everything I experience my mind begins to draw, so as reading can inspire thoughts and images in my head, it can also impede me from finishing a chapter as my mind begins to paint.

Most of the paintings you see, begin with an idea and a photograph, I begin with a central theme or focal point and then the brush tells me where to go. I do not plan out my paintings from beginning to end, I do not begin with a number of sketches or rigorous blueprint. I have tried creating from sketches, and while they are a great starting point, much like my photos, they are just the point of inception. Once the painting begins, the painting tells me where to go, and it doesn’t always work out, and this allows for innovation. I drink it all in, and then I paint it all out. I make art because it is what I have done my whole life. I never really had a choice in the matter, art chose me and I obliged. My biggest fear is that I will die with all these ideas left in my head, and yet the more art I make, the more I have to make. Art never sleeps and the job of an artist never ends.”

As for the crate that the paintings are safely stored within, it is imbued with it’s own signature artwork.

There are many passionate stories being expressed in this art collection. Below we will highlight each painting with a comment about each piece from the artist.

Here are ‘THE PAINTINGS’ in BOX SET #6:

Poppies For Louise

A painting of ruby red poppies on the shore of Lake Louise with a signature red canoe, turquoise waters, glaciers and mountain in the background – Canadian flag imposed. A love letter to Lake Louise, this piece is inspired by the composition of the Canadian Flag set against the turquoise blue waters of Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. The red canoe, features the number nine, the most star worn number in professional hockey and the NHL. An ode to Canada, from sea to sky and sport to nature.

2. Patchwork Nation

A painting of a Canadian Maple Leaf on an aerial view of the prairies and the multicolored crops and lines as seen by air when you fly over Mantioba and Saskatchewan. Canada is a Patchwork Nation and this piece is a re-imagining of the Canadian flag against the abstract aerial view of the prairie crops.

3. Assiniboine

This painting is my representation of Mount Assiniboine, a pyramidal peak mountain on the Great Divide on the BC/Alberta border. This peak is nicknamed, ‘the Matterhorn of the Rockies’, for it’s resemblance to the Matterhorn in the Alps. I imagined Warhol painting these peaks, with his POP Art palette. In total there are 13 peaks in this series, some of the most famous and least known peaks in the Rocky Mountain range from BC to Alberta.

4. Robson

This painting is my representation of Mt. Robson, it is the most prominent mountain in the Rocky Mountain range and the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. Bordering BC and Alberta, Mt. Robson is awe-inspiring and takes your breath away as you drive into the park and hike to the base of the mountain. In 2010, I found myself on a new journey, this time travelling through the land of giants, the Rocky Mountains of the Western Canadian Landscape. I felt utterly alone in a hauntingly impressive landscape as I watched sunrise paint these snowy peaks, casting shadows and vivid shades of blue, purple, orange, blue-green depending on time of day and position of the sun or moon. From the Group of Seven to Robert Genn, these mountains have romanced many and the love affair continues.

5. Babel

Part of the, ‘I See Mountains’ series inspired by peaks in the Canadian Rocky Mountain range from BC to Alberta. Mount Babel is a peak in the Bow Range in Banff, Alberta that bears a resemblance to the tower of From the Group of Seven to Warhol, these mountains have romanced many and the love affair continues.

6. Charity

My expression of the Canada150 tulip. The most common meaning for tulips is perfect or deep love. Because tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, they can mean rebirth. Victorians often associated tulips with charity, and the Dutch associate tulips with “Thanks” to Canadian soldiers that liberated The Netherlands in World War II.

As for the crate that the paintings are safely stored within, imbued with it’s own signature artwork. As seen below;

This crate safely houses the artworks of BOX SET #6, is painted with a graphic rendering of the painting ‘Poppies For Louise’ which is contained within the crate itself.

On the reverse side of the crate the words, ‘Beauty Day’ emblazon the crate – a common saying in Canada on a beautiful sunny day.

10 Paintings to Collect

Buying Art

10 Paintings to Collect from the past 5 years.

I love painting. I have loved painting every since I was properly introduced to the medium at art college over 20 years ago now. I used to draw portraits in black in white, graphite and pencil, I used to live in a world that was void of colour. Drawing is an important medium to learn the basics of composition, form and light. Drawing is considered the foundation for becoming a great painter. Then I squeezed vivid magenta from a paint tube, it’s glossiness grabbing the light and reflecting it back to me in 3D, I was in love and I found my new drug. For me painting is the language of passion, love and happiness and my signature as a painter became my bold use of vivid colour. When I think about 10 paintings to collect, I have trouble nailing things down to just ten.

As the creator of the paintings, I have a love/hate relationship with the work and perhaps this is because I remember all the ups and downs of the painting. As with any great painting, there must be struggle, and struggle births solutions. Without rain, flowers do not grow and without that internal struggle, the artwork cannot evolve. I find that the paintings which become my favourite, are rarely the favourite of the viewer, as their only relationship with the piece is the end result, and my relationship with the work happens during the process. I recall every stroke and every challenge we went through, in order to create the final work seen by the art lover.

This holiday season I have decided to select 10 artworks from the past five years, that I truly love, that continue to be favourites. (not including sold works) These are works that I feel define my identity as a painter and my signature as a Canadian artist. These are paintings I love, as they are more than ‘pretty pictures’, they tell stories and engage viewers. There is something that everyone can connect to in these paintings, and they offer a respite from other forms of entertainment. Much like a good book or a great film, these paintings go deep and offer much in return. “Talking pieces for your guests, your clients and your loved ones.

Buying Art Online is Easy

Buying Art

Buying Art Online is Easy – Buy From The Heart

Choosing a piece of original art can be a daunting process, buying art online is easy and a relatively new experience, it is not painful or difficult. Whether you’re looking for a painting to suit a small or larger space here are some things to consider:

Create a budget. Establish your ‘ideal’ budget for a new artwork, and then add a little more for wiggle room. Why? You may find that next masterpiece is a tiny bit over your planned budget and if your budget is inflexible, you could always negotiate with the artist. There are many ways I accommodate my buyers requests, it may be free shipping, it could be a discount on multiple works, or it could be a financing plan to help assist you with buying the art you want, while paying for it over a time period that suits your budget. (Current pricing on artwork from Brandy Saturley)

Know your space. Knowing the dimensions of the intended wall space where your new artwork will hang, will help you narrow down your selection. If you have a theme, particular taste or colour palette, complement it. And by complement, we don’t mean matching the room perfectly — if your intention is to create a room that features bold, statement pieces, you might like to choose artworks that stand-out against the interior. If your intention is to buy a piece that reflects your personal style, tastes, and loves – selecting art becomes an extension of you, it is your way to be a collaborator in the creative process that reflects your personality – the art you choose becomes an extension of YOU. (Art Collector Homes – Inside A Contemporary West Coast Home)

Communicate with the artist. Our lives are a collection of memories, experiences and stories. You have your eye on an artwork, but would like to know the inspiration behind it, reaching out to the artist will help in painting a fuller picture of the piece and in turn develop your appreciation for the piece. Communicating with the artist will give you a whole new understanding of the piece, the intricacies of the creation, and the backstory of the work behind a piece of fine art. (A Day in The Life – documenting the creative process)

The only rule in buying art, buy what you love. Buying art is a very personal thing. If you connect with a certain painting, it will represent more than just a painting hanging on a wall; the art you choose is an expression of who you are. If you find an artwork that speaks to you, BUY IT. Fear of missing out can be an awful feeling.

Testimonials are another way to instill confidence that you are buying from a reputable gallery or independent artist, these references offer some idea of what your collecting experience will be like as a buyer. (Appreciation From Art Collectors)

If you LOVE it, if you ABSOLUTELY have to have it, then BUY it, you will never be disappointed when you buy something you LOVE.

All that is left to do now, is start shopping! Happy art hunting.
