Aquamaris Gallery in Loving Memory of John Stuart Pryce
AQUAMARIS ART GALLERY IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOHN STUART PRYCE APRIL 1940 - JANUARY 2022
It is with a profound sense of loss, felt personally and throughout the Canadian arts community, that we share the news of our beloved artist’s passing.
John’s love of art underscored his life, from becoming an art major at the highly acclaimed H.B. Beal Tech. in London, Ontario, working and studying in Montreal, Chicago and Toronto, to a successful 35 year long career as an architectural illustrator whose renderings were used in projects around the world. His passion for painting transformed him into an accomplished artist who divided his time between painting en plain air, creating large studio pieces and generously imparting his vast knowledge with others through his popular painting workshops. Noted for his loose technique and ability to convey with poetic eloquence the beauty he saw in the world, John Stuart Pryce became regarded as one of Canada’s foremost landscape painters.
John was an Honorary Signature Member of International Plein Air Painters Organization Worldwide, Signature Member of Oil Painters of Ontario and Signature Member (AFCA) of Federation of Canadian Artists.
Honoured to have known and represented John Stuart Pryce, we cherish his memory by continuing to shine the light on his humanity and his inspiring contribution to Canada’s arts and culture.
