Pat Gauthier

I'm a Canadian Artist that lives in Northern British Columbia, Canada. My husband and I run a large cattle ranch here in historic Fort St James. My studio is attached to the house with it's own fantastic view with north facing light. I paint representational style sometimes realistic sometimes more contemporary. Subjects varying from wildlife, ranch animals, flowers, nature related, landscape, historic related, portraits, aboriginal, canine, horses. The mediums I use are watercolors, acrylics, oils, chalk pastels, mixed watercolor and chalk pastels, collage acrylics. It depends on the concept and subject as to the medium it wants to be. I paint from my own experiences and use my own photos for reference. I'm a self taught artist that has been painting on and off for 18 years. At least once a year I go to other renowned Artist's workshops to further my learning. I'm on the Community Arts Council of Ft St James, and member of Federated Canadian Artists, member of Island Mountain Arts,to name of few. My moto enjoy making art it will reward you.
