Guy Cranston
Regular Member
 | Telephone: 613-393-3900 |
Being a member of a very diverse and creative family, Guy has been influenced by art and artisans all his life. Guy’s mother Stuart was a talented artist mentored by Kathleen Morris, a contemporary and associate of Canada’s Group of Seven. His sister Philippa is an accomplished writer and television producer. Guy’s elder brother Toller, is a well known Canadian artist who first wowed the world as an Olympic athlete.
Growing up in Montreal, the family home was a virtual art gallery where not a square inch of wall wasn’t covered by a piece of art of some description. Guy didn’t actually put pastel to paper until many years later but the seed had long been sewn.
Guy spends as much time as possible outdoors painting en plein air. He has travelled and painted throughout the west coast of Canada and the United States, France, Italy, the UK and Wales. Guy has attended several plein air pastel workshops including a week long workshop with Albert Handell, arguably the preeminent pastel landscape artist in North America.
Guy is a member of The Federation of Canadian Artists, Pastel Artists Canada, Pastel Society of Eastern Canada, Landscape Artists International and the Rideau Lakes Artist Association.
“You can visit the same place a dozen times, but when you paint it en plein air, everything changes. One becomes acutely aware of their surroundings. You see things as you have never seen them before. It’s very personal – painting on location develops an emotional bond with the location that lasts a lifetime.”
