Artist's Statement

"Having lived most of my life in rural Nova Scotia, my intimacy with the landscape has become the inspiration as well as the organizing structure of my paintings. I constantly strive (and struggle) to create an art work that expresses the energy, light, and hue as well as the timeless quality of each landscape." V.L. Maclean
