Edward Fitzpatrick was born in Montreal, Qc., in 1945. His parents relocated to Dalhousie,N.B., in the mid fifties. After high school, his work before, and after technical school , took him across eastern Canada. He moved back to this region in 1981 and now lives in beautiful Charlo ,N.B. by the bay.
From an early age Eddy always enjoyed drawing, and forever taking photos. Twenty years ago he started taking oil painting classes, at Simonne Henry’s painting school. Every year they have an art exhibition with their paintings.
With his photography over the past fifty years, he has acquired a huge collection of subjects across eastern Canada. He paints from his reference photos and from memories of our beautiful Chaleur Bay.
Always inspired by mountains and water surrounding him, he paints on Canvas, masonite and wood, with landscapes, seascapes, still objects and portraits. Eddy has developed his own style of painting, for viewers to enjoy.
Beautiful salmon rivers and dressing salmon flies, for over forty five years , influenced him to become a painting artist.
