Biography

Plein Air Painter in All Seasons

"Gorgeous use of values and color hues to depict moments in the life of her subjects" -Informed Collector

Poppy Balser is a Canadian painter who has always lived withing walking distance of the ocean, mostly on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. She developed an early connection with the seashore which has deepened as she studies the sea and its environs through her paintings. She understands that the wild portions of Nova Scotia's environment are a precious resource and seeks to highlight their beauty in her paintings. She paints outside often to keep her observations fresh and accurate. Her goal is to transfer the open air feeling of being outside in nature into her studio work.

Balser began the serious pursuit of painting in watercolours in 2003. She has since followed a path of self directed study, choosing workshops by master painters from across the country. Over the last few years she has expanded her artistic practice to include oil painting.

Balser tells the behind the scenes stories of her paintings in her newsletter and on her blog. She seeks with her posts and videos to give her readers a real sense of being on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, or wherever her painting journey has taken her.
