The Arts & Letters Club of Toronto has just opened Pat Fairhead @90, a retrospective on the life work of this Muskoka-based artist. During decades of travel, she has captured the primeval majesty of the Arctic, the rhapsodic colours of Muskoka’s landscape and the hypnotic nature of Haida Gwaii.
It’s fascinating to have a chance to see the progression of style in an accomplished artist like Fairhead. Here is a small selection. (Top: Ontario Farmhouse with Dog, 8.5×11, watercolour & ink. 1960)
The Don In September, 11×20, watercolour, 1999

Pat’s work looks very, very alive, and so is she at 90. I do believe her work keeps her here & vital! Quite wonderful!
I hope I’m still so into things at 90. I totally agree the work is her potion!
so beautiful. Fascinated me. Thank you, Love, nia
