"Victoria
Ward's subjects and materials can change but one thing doesn't change.
Always the viewer gets the deep, disquieting sense that whatever humans build
onto nature is vulnerable to nature's dominance, and perhaps even its
wrath. Man's homes and buildings seem to tip, swirl, or otherwise appear
unstable and transitory. The murky colours draw you in, even as they make
you question the very ground beneath your feet." The Ottawa Citizen,
May 2008

is home to painters Gary Blundell and Victoria Ward. We live in rural
Ontario, in a log cabin in the middle of the woods. Our work can be found
in collections and galleries from Thunder Bay to New Jersey and Vancouver to
Switzerland. We believe in painting that challenges accepted principles,
vigorous in concept, innovative in technique and most of all made with joy and
hope.
We would love to have your post and/or email address so that we can keep
you informed on our upcoming activities.
