Lynne Vegter
I came to Canada over sixty years ago now and fell in love with its people, landscape and lakes. I had a short career in pottery and painting, being mostly self taught, until family circumstances left me a single parent.
I started working for Ontario Hydro as a mechanical technician, the furthest from art I could be I suppose. But my final role as a mechanical field Engineer affirmed my love of detail and complex patterns. When I left work, I took art courses at Haliburton school of art, and am still learning and loosening my style.
I want my paintings to betray my passion for capturing my moments in tangled forests, observing the elusive wildlife around Lake Weslemkoon, where I am lucky enough to have my studio.
Painting this wilderness is a challenge I welcome, hoping to continue to diversify and tell more than just the story of the landscape, but describe my intense feelings when I connect with it.
I want my paintings to show the delicate balance between humans and the animals that share their environment with us. Always learning.
