Folk Art - Nova Scotia

Picture
My name is Tyler.  In 1996 I found myself on the unemployment lines, so I started a business, figuring the best way to stay employed was to hire myself.  

During the first few years of my  business it wasn't that busy.  So I found myself with some time to explore other things.   I was fortunate to spend some of that time walking the beautiful beaches of Nova Scotia.  While there, I picked up drift wood, old fishing gear and the like. I took these found treasures home and for fun painted them ...  

​Who knew people would like them?

I love to paint very bright and fun paintings.  I mostly like to paint on things that people discard or I find lying around.  Recently, I even tried painting like a real artist on canvas - it was OK.  I think I really like painting on things that people forget about - I like giving discarded things a new life and inspiring others to be cherish them again.

Nova Scotia Folk Art

I've struggled with what style to call the art I do.  So I left it up to the people who have been taking them home.  Most people were calling it Folk Art - and I was cool with that.  

Then, a buyer who's family owns a bunch of Maude Lewis originals - said it was Folk Art like hers ... so the struggle was over.  I'm a Folk Artist.  I love Folk Art.  And I paint a Folk Art in Nova Scotia.
