I specialize in “Light on the Landscape Oil Paintings Featuring the Unique Beauty of Coastal Oregon and Beyond.”
Ivan’s subjects are landscape, marine, animals and still life. His paintings reflect the deep appreciation he has for Mother Nature’s moods using light and shadow contrasts.
Ivan was raised in Ireland and immigrated to Canada in 1972. Shortly thereafter he began the practice of plein air (on-location) oil painting in the Canadian Rockies. Subsequent visits to paint the beautiful and dramatic Oregon Coast resulted in a move during 1993 for Ivan and his wife to Toledo, Oregon where his studio/gallery was built for the exclusive showing of his paintings.
I have no fancy philosophies about my art. I simply feel compelled to translate through the medium of paint those things that elicit in me a sense of excitement or wonder.
As a self-taught artist, Ivan has won National Awards and shown in many National Art Exhibits throughout the States. His latest Exhibit includes the American Society of Marine Artists National Art Museum 2 year Exhibt Tour. He also won “Award of Excellence” during the Oil Painters of America Exhibit, in Carmel, CA.
