Albert's Wharf Gallery
French Village
I would like to introduce you to my two gallery locations. To view them you can visit my website listed below.
Albert's Wharf Gallery is a short drive from Peggy's Cove in French Village. It is here, on the wharf surrounded by the sea and sky, that I do most of my painting.
Neil Depew Watercolour Gallery is located at world famous Peggy's Cove. Here, with panoramic views of Peggy's Point Lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean, I greet visitors from all over the world.
Both Galleries are open most days during the tourist season from May to the end of October.
Inside the gallerys you'll find a unique Nova Scotian flare to Neil's display of his artwork. Rustic charm combined with a traditional maritime flavour complement the style and theme of his many water colour paintings.
I was born in Montreal in 1964 and moved to Nova Scotia with my family at the age of six. Growing up by the ocean near Peggy's Cove, I was inspired to try to capture the beauty of the area.
Basically self taught, I was influenced by my artistic mother to began painting in 1984, developing a distinctive watercolour style of strong, vivid, colourful images combined with soft, foggy scenes that are typical of the area. I make a living by selling my artwork during the tourist season from Albert's Wharf Gallery in French Village. The gallery was an old fishing shack where Albert Burchell, a well known local fisherman, sold his fish to the public for many years. Now, tourists from all over the world enjoy the rustic charm of the gallery and the view from the wharf of St. Margaret's Bay.

The Bay Hammock Company
Seabright
The Bay Hammock Company, located in Seabright, Nova Scotia makes hand made hammocks, hammock swings and custom-size shade sails.
The main focus of the company is on hand made quality and comfort. They even make the rope the hammocks are woven from.
Bay Hammocks is a member of the Atlantic ÉconoMusée Network so a visit to The Bay Hammock Company is more than a visit to a retail shop.
It is a place where you can see skilled artisans braid fiber into rope, then weave it into a hammock, especially designed to make naptime one of the most relaxing experiences you will ever have.
Drop in and tour the shop. Learn the history of rope and hammock making. Learn how to tie the knots used in hammock making. Create a piece of rope using a hand operated rope maker. See how a hammock is carefully woven with your comfort in mind. Browse the library of books about rope making and knot tying. Try out the hammocks and swings to see which is most comfortable for you.
