Art Encounter: Ray Ward
September 11 - October 8

Ray Ward has been spending most of his time painting landscapes and seascapes inspired by visits to the west and north coasts of Vancouver Island. To him, these spaces are important because they give us the land untouched and unaffected by any human concerns. When painting these places, Ward enjoys working in unusual weather conditions as well as very particular moments of light. In this new collection of 20 paintings, you will discover Ray’s love of the low light of winter sun, dawn and dusk, and also atmospheric effects of air thick with moisture and changing weather patterns, such as a storm passing through. Ray does not duplicate what he sees in nature, but, rather is focusing on these minute mood and atmospheric changes to interpret these scenes for greater emotional effect.
