I am a contemporary Canadian landscape artist. I'm a visual story teller engaged in a mad race against time. recording disappearing pre-urbanized landscapes, as cities swallow land in fertile temperate zones. I use Elemental Texture, Luminous Colour, Symbolic Shapes and Lyrical Line and a process I have developed and call Glazed Acrylic. also see me on instagram @robinbarattaartist

St Andrews Hollow

 


St Andrews Hollow
A tiny yellow brick country church, one of the last of it's kind, overlooks a shallow winding valley where a glacial river once flowed. Both unfortunately are one land that is zoned for development.
What a lose if they should fall to the developers 'dozers. Our insatiable appetite for  what those in power call development comes at great cost. 
These are some of the most fertile lands in North America, and the world. The question needs to be asked... what legacy are we leaving future generations?

Silent Witness


 The ancient live oaks of the hurricane battered south eastern U.S. bear silent witness to the changes 
wrought by humans through the passing centuries. We can only imagine the  tales they
could tell, if only they could talk.
