Carole Finn

Canadian artist Carole Finn is a passionate advocate of celebrating and safeguarding

the wild, natural spaces of Canada. In her lifetime as an artist and art educator, she

established one of Canada’s lauded art colleges, the Haliburton School of Art and

Design, SSFC; in the Great Canadian Shield of Ontario; has founded a public art galleries

with a mission- based role to introduce art and engage with the surrounding community;

and has incubated various art groups of differing disciplines into the Haliburton Guild

of the Arts, later called the Haliburton County arts Council.

In 2009, after receiving the Queens Medal and many other awards for her work, Finn

finally followed her heart’s desire to be a fulltime professional artist in 2009, bringing to

life her years of study at OCAD, York University Fine Arts in Toronto and lastly at her beloved Community College, Haliburton HSAD.

In her landscapes, Carole attempts to capture not only the spirit of the place but also its

atmosphere. The images she chooses to paint, are iconographic, representing that particular and unique place. She loves using shapes, value and color to build the drama in her compositions. Her animals, which are part of the fabric of these environments, tell their

stories and ask the viewer questions through their eyes.

Carole is a passionate artist/ educator; and loves sharing her love for art and the technique

of making art. A recently full-time transplant to the west coast of British Columbia; she is now based in Sooke, BC. There her Atelier is open to see her work by appointment.
