Ivan Fraser Studio
Glen Margaret

Artist, Ivan Fraser
Ivan Fraser, born and raised in Nova Scotia, shares his love of this beautiful land through art and photography. Two words most often used to describe his work are “peaceful” and “serene,” as he captures quiet inlets, coves and lakes depicting the maritime flavor.






On the other hand, images showing the awesome power and majesty of the sea are among his favorite subjects.

Watercolours by Wendy
Hackett's Cove

Wendy Crocker, Artist

Wendy is a self-taught artist who has been painting in watercolour since 1991, concentrating on the many aspects of life in her community of Hackett's Cove and the province of Nova Scotia. She particularly enjoys paintings that depict every day life and its small pleasures, like laundry in the breeze, beachcombing children, or cut flowers on a windowsill.








 

Wendy's subject matter includes landscapes, seascapes, boats, buildings, birds, animals, flowers, figures, doorways and windows. Pet portraits are a popular request. She comes by her love of painting naturally - she is the daughter of French Village Painter Patricia Kew Ahem and the granddaughter of well-known Northern artist-author, the late George Lawrence Cassidy. Wendy's paintings are sold locally, nationally and internationally.
