PEOPLE'S CHOICE
ARTIST BIO
“A synopsis of my career as an artist covers a large period of my life living in Africa, Canada and Australia.
I have concentrated on African animals and landscapes in Africa. In Canada on landscapes and in Australia on landscapes and seascapes. My principal areas in Western Australia have been the Pilbara, Kimberly, and seascapes out of Esperance, Rottnest Island and Ningaloo.
I have sold paintings in galleries and Art Exhibitions and reference my paintings from photographs I have taken on my numerous camping and caravan trips around Australia.
Some of the paintings were painted on site and others in my studio.
I am fascinated by light and shadows and attempted to create moods in my paintings finding contrast as the best indication of the time in the day. Realism and detail has been my aim.” – Henry Wood
