Welcome!
We have been spending a glorious simmer in Nova Scotia! My dream has come true and we have purchased a beautiful old house in Port Maitland. We are hoping to open a small seasonal gallery there next summer. I attended the wonderful 20th Anniversary of the Nova Scotia Folk Art Festival and have acquired work by numerous artists. See you at Christie on September 6th, booth P7.
Please visit Forest and Company, 989 Queen Street East, Toronto for a wonderful selection of wood-turned bowls by Winston Spates and nautical decor items.
From the Heart Folk Art began on a road trip home from Nova Scotia in 2003. I am from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia but live in Toronto, Ontario. I have been collecting Folk Art, hand-carved and painted wooden sculptures, for a few years and after my family's first visit to the Nova Scotia Folk Art Festival decided to share my passion with others. The quirky, whimsical characters always bring a smile to your face and are pieces of art to be shared with your family and handed down for generations. These self-taught artists are very friendly Maritimers, each with his/her own personal style of carving and painting.
This site was created to give you an example of what is available in the gallery. Please call for more information and/or to make an appointment. All prices shown are in Canadian Funds. .
Sincerely,
