John KinsellaLandscapes of Southern Ontario A journey of Learning, Respect and Connection As a landscape painter, respectfully acknowledge that the land upon which I work is the traditional and treaty territory of many Indigenous Nations and communities. I am grateful to the people, current and historic, for their stewardship of this beautiful land. The past 15 years of painting and studying the landscape of Southern Ontario has given me a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the natural world and a respect for all the elements that make it work. I witness the changes in the environment, both subtle and dynamic, from season to season throughout the course of the year. In my paintings I aspire to capture the energy of these changes and convey the spirit and poetry of place. JOHN KINSELLA is a painter born in Hamilton, Ontario. He studied Art and Art History at McMaster University (1982-1987), and fine art in the Val de Loire, France in 1985. Kinsella's work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions in Algonquin Park, Hamilton, Dundas, Grimsby, Owen Sound, Huntsville, Toronto and Barcelona Spain.
