Artist Spotlight : MAURADE BAYNTON

Pure Gold by artist Maurade Baynton

Before painting an image Maurade Baynton selects her subjects carefully and does extensive research on her subjects using libraries, museums, archives and in the case of animals she will travel to windswept fields or mountains and crouch motionless for hours observing the animals in their natural habitat taking frequent photographs and making many sketches. This first hand experience with her subjects combined with an uncanny ability to use light and soft edges results in a vibrant, living canvas.  

Artist Maurade Baynton

Born in England in 1954, she immigrated to Canada at the age of five. Her artistic inclinations and awareness of the natural world emerged at an early age with an appreciation for the textures and movements in the world around her. In 1972 after receiving a scholarship to the Banff School of Fine Arts, Baynton’s artistic career was launched and at the young age of 18 she chose to be a full time artist.  

Under the guidance and encouragement of her grade school teachers Baynton began working with oils and continues to work in this medium today. Many of her  paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout  Canada and the U.S.
