We cordially invite you to celebrate the remarkable life and career of Harry Heine, one of Canada's premiere watercolourists. This significant retrospective features previously unseen works from Heine's considerable private collection, spanning continents and decades. This exhibition reveals the talent of this generous, charming and talented man, and his ability to capture in his works scenes from around the world, especially life on Canada's distinctive and rugged west coast.

The only Canadian ever elected to the prestigious Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA), Heine was honoured throughout his career for his contributions to the visual arts and to charitable endeavours.

His work has influenced generations of Canadian artists, through years of teaching and art tours, and as PVP of the Federation of Canadian Artists. As well, he was a charter member of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists and a member of the Northwest Watercolour Society. He exhibited regularly with the RSMA in both London and Mystic, Connecticut and in gallery and museum exhibitions internationally. His work is featured in numerous public and private collections.

Come join us for this unique opportunity to experience Harry Heine's unique vision and rich artistic legacy.
