Nova Scotia's South Shore has long been a magnet for Marine Artists. Jack Gray and Joe Purcell, class mates at the NS College of Art back in the 1960s are legendary for their sensitive portrayal of the villages, the fishermen, their homes and their 'fish stores', referred to by many as 'fish shacks'! Tela Purcell, Marguerite Zwicker, (ladies first!), John Cook, Anthony Law, Leonard Lane, Kelsey Raymond and David Whitzman all struggled to portray the life of the Maritime Fishermen in the 'early years', when I was yet a struggling Med student, but already a confirmed 'art addict'! I learned from them all. Ain't Art Great!
