Perry Haddock is a Canadian artist from the south coast of British Columbia, near Vancouver. His paintings reveal his West Coast roots and his love of the coastal images near his home. Painting primarily in acrylic and watercolour, Perry's impressionistic style is the result of his keen observation of the colours and textures of nature, and his efforts to record his impressions in broad strokes. Many of his paintings are developed from sketches or studies done on site, and his fondest painting experiences are those "en plein air".
Now retired from a career as fine arts teacher and school counsellor, Perry has taken the opportunity to add travelling to his agenda, and has discovered new subjects and experiences to add to his palette, ranging from Italian coastal bays to Paris rooftops and Newfoundland meadows.
Perry is a signature member (SFCA) of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Artists International, and an active member of the B.C. Art Teachers' Association. Perry's paintings are available at Hambleton Galleries in Kelowna, BC, the Rendezvous Gallery in Vancouver, BC., Webster Galleries in Calgary, AB, Kube Gallery in Fort Langley, BC, Studio Connexion Gallery in Nakusp, BC, and Art on 9th Gallery in Invermere, BC.
