Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Aidan has lived in Newfoundland, Quebec and Ontario. He has been blessed to travel and paint all over Canada and much of the USA.

Completely intuitive, his work has been described as ”contemporary impressionism”. Working in oils, the paintings encompass a wide variety of landscapes and scenes from across Canada mainly in Provincial and National Parks and the sub-Arctic.

Aidan has work in collections in Canada, both private and corporate, and in the USA, Europe, the Far East and Australia.

He has designed and taught courses for adults, children and the handicapped. He is currently teaching a private course titled “Sketching: An Artist’s Resource for the Studio”. This course is designed to teach the basics of landscape composition; it is outdoor sketching for 2 to 4 participants.

Aidan was an active member of the Burlington Fine Arts Association and is currently a member of Prince Edward County Arts Council.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: These paintings in Oil or Acrylic express my love of Canada and of the many areas that I have sketched or painted. I have always attempted to portray the magnificence of our country and can only wish I could have seen and painted more of it.

I’ve spent a lot of time “plein air” painting. I highly recommend it as it gives you a different perspective and heightens your powers of observation. You’ll also have a story to tell with each painting and you meet some really fine people.
