Broken Tree Print

Stephen Reid is an emerging Nova Scotia painter with a growing reputation as a modern realist. Born in outport Newfoundland in the 60's with the seaside and wilderness as a natural playground, Stephen found his way back home to the east coast after many years living away. He currently calls Cape Breton home and enjoys being near the Atlantic ocean again. Retiring from business a number of years ago, Stephen began to rediscover sketching and artistic creativity that had long ago been a childhood passion. Beginning with watercolors and ink images, Reid quickly found his voice in oils and acrylics and has developed a style that reflects his downeast culture in intimate detail. In addition to stunning seascapes, spectacular woodland vistas are a favourite subject matter for this contemporary painter with an eye for movement and light.
