PAT FAIRHEAD (1927 - 2023)
Born in Hull, Yorkshire, England, Pat moved to Canada at the age of ten and fell in love with the landscape. Finding as many ways as possible to connect with the land, Pat hiked, canoed and camped her way to some of the most remote corners of Canada (and beyond), always gathering inspiration to take back to the studio. Pat was a student of Franklin Carmichael, studying at the Ontario College of Art and Design and later receiving a Master of Arts from Goddard College (Vermont) as well as a Master of Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Over the many decades that she worked as a painter, Pat was elected to the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, the Ontario Society of Artists, the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, the Society of Canadian Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and her work is held in many corporate, national and provincial collections. In her own words; “For me, it is the natural world where I find what I want to paint. I do some interior work, but I am primarily a landscaper painter. I am always fascinated with light and what happens when its hits waterfalls, lakes and oceans, landforms and ice. I have travelled the world and Canada from east to west, but it is the Arctic that draws me the most, where the land, sea and ice are exciting, primitive and compacted with energy and colour!”
