About the artist:

David Hickey is a Canadian landscape artist working in metal and acrylic painting. His work draws from his personal experience, living and working in the Kawartha region. David grew up in Peterborough, and at the age of thirty moved to New England to teach. In 2004 he moved back to the area to further develop his artistic career. David has been a full-time artist for the past fifteen years and is well known for his presentation of the landscape within our region.

“As an artist my creativity is enlivened by the natural world and the diversity of mediums in which I work. For over fifteen years I have maintained a viable gallery presence within our region. Giving back to the community has always been one of my goals and it began fourteen years ago when I was asked by Camp Kawartha to donate a work of art for a fundraiser. I have since donated work to many local organizations to support their fundraising initiatives. Currently my preferred mediums include metal sculpture, wood carving and painting. Being an artist on the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour has been a significant event that has brought me increased exposure and clientele each year I have participated.” – David Hickey
