The Artist

Roy A. Burton is a visual artist who has been drawing and painting most of
his life. Originally from Newfoundland he has called Leamington, Ontario
home for the past few years. Roy works predominantly in acrylic, but has
also dabbled in oils and watercolour. Through a combination of careful
observation, delicate execution and fine delination, he depicts his
subjects in a highly detailed and precise fashion. Roy has managed to
capture the ever changing moods and rhythms of the shoreline and
woodland subjects - images that serve as a contemporary documentation
of a disappering lifestyle. Roy has been exhibiting his artwork in galleries,
juried shows, group and solo exhibitions. This award winning artist's work
is featured in private collections in several countries including Japan,
Great Britian, Australia, Africa, USA, and Canada. Other private
collections inlude that of a former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador
and Pelee Island Winery in Kingsville, Ontario. Roy's work is found in
several galleries in Newfoundland as well as Ontario.
