RICHARD MASTERTON
Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, Richard Masterton is an accomplished visual artist, with his works reflecting his love of the Maritime land and seas. He has studied with a number of local artists in the Maritimes and participated in many workshops, including workshops presented by the renowned Maritime artist W.E. DeGarthe. Mr. Masterton has exhibited at the Victoria Day Artist Fair in Moncton, as well as in a number of exhibitions held by the Kirkland Artists’ Association. Mr. Masterton was instrumental in establishing the annual Moncton – Victoria Park Arts & Craft Festival held in Moncton each May.
Mr. Masterton is a professional environmental consultant with a vast array of experience in a profession that is exhibited throughout his art works, which expose his love of nature.
Upon his arrival in Montreal in 1985, he had reached a point where his artistic expression and his level of experimentation were thriving. He continued to seek and reach for more expression through many artistic venues while he enjoyed the softer hues presented in Canadian rural and landscape art. His artistic meanderings have expanded in the last decade to also include poetry writing. He has published verse in Poetry Canada magazine and the International Library of Poetry. He has been featured as a poet of the month through the Canadian Poetry Federation publication, and he has exhibited and written verse for family and friends as his musings dictate.
His art and poetic verse can also be found in a number of private collections in Canada, the United Sates and Australia.
