Canadian born artist Mae Moore has lived on both the East Coast , West Coast and many regions in between and it is her love of these landscapes that drew her to painting. Although she is perhaps better known for her music, having recorded seven albums and achieved international recognition, she began her artistic journey with a paintbrush in hand.

Artist Statement:

‘ I feel fortunate to have been able to travel throughout many communities in Canada from Newfoundland to Haida Gwaii ,through the sugar maple bush, down the sagebrushed foothills to the fecund tidal pools. The landscapes of this country are the source of my inspiration…the ever changing sky of a prairie summer, or the way the light falls on a slack tide. The colours that I use are more about the ‘feeling’ that I get from what I am observing in this world.’
