This Holiday season, Art + Concepts introduces the bird paintings of Emmaline Mortimer.

​

A NSCAD Fine Arts Graduate, Mortimer also holds an Honours in Philosophy and a Major in Psychology from UNB Fredericton. Her visual work deals with a variety of subject matter, but Mortimer’s lifelong interest in local birds was fostered her parents, who keep large feeders on their property.

​

Today, Mortimer spends hours researching bird species all over the world, studying their habitats, songs, and, of course, gorgeous plumage, in order to render her vibrant scenes.

​

Nine of Mortimer’s oil canvases will be hanging in the gallery for our Christmas Party, Saturday, November 28th and Art + Concepts will feature 26 of her small paintings in its 2015 Advent Calendar — a dear little Christmas present in your e-mail inbox every day, November 29 to December 24!
