Steven Armstrong
Steven Armstrong is the second of three children born to a geologist father and artist mother. He grew up in various parts of rural Canada until the Armstrong family moved to the west coast in 1966. They settled in Vancouver and spent summers on rugged Gambier Island at the mouth of Howe Sound. As a member of an artistic family, Steven developed a deep, early interest in visual arts, music, and language. In addition to his “practical education”, Steven spent time practicing Graphic Design, and traveling extensively throughout Asia and Europe. In 1996 Steven settled on Vancouver Island, where he has been painting professionally since 1997.
How do you communicate the experience of exploring a coastal rain forest, of hiking to an alpine lake, or watching the wild Pacific waves roll in? I grew up fascinated by the way we conceptualize and express our relationship with the natural environment and with one another. That sense of connection. I approach painting as a form of communicating an ever-changing relationship with place. It’s a dialogue, really – a conversation into which the viewer is invited.
