Christine Marshall; Canada's First Lady of Wildlife Art 

 

Christine Marshall is known as “Canada’s First Lady of Wildlife Art”. Inspired by the majestic beauty of the rugged Ontario northland in which she lives, Christine captures nature on canvas in a unique, deeply sensitive and highly detailed style.

  One of Canada's foremost wildlife artists, Christine began painting over 35 years ago. She has owned and managed a successful gallery for over 30 years in Ontario, specializing in acrylic on canvas and wildlife and nature paintings.  Her “Romantic Realist” style paintings have captured the imaginations of animal lovers from coast to coast.  Few artists on the contemporary scene have achieved the level of success she presently enjoys or the international acclaim her work has received.  Very few painters of wildlife have brought to the field a fresher approach to painting animals than Christine. Her research has taken her throughout the world.

Muskoka has been a place of unending inspiration for Christine Marshall for many years. The beautiful village of Bala is a jewel set amongst the sparkling lakes and rugged rocks of the Muskoka landscape in Northern Ontario. Now that she has made her home and new studio-gallery there, it will fulfill her inner desire to totally immerse herself in nature and the wildlife she loves to paint. It also boasts a close community of talented artisans.

 Christine Marshall invites you to visit her studio-gallery and perhaps catch a glimpse of a new painting or project underway, during regular hours in the summer months, and by appointment or by chance in the winter season. There is an easy exit off Hwy. 400 north of Toronto. Follow the "Christine Marshall Gallery" Ontario Tourism signs at Muskoka Road #38 to the corner of Strachan Point Road.

 Open most days 10:00 to 5:00 June - September and by appointment or by chance off-season. Please view a large selection of Christine’s work on her website at www.wildlifegallery.ca or call 705.762.6622.
