Richard Flynn has been working as an artist since graduating from the Newcastle College of Art in England in 1970, most recently as the artist in residence at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Ontario. He painted the gritty industrial landscapes and rural Northumberland where he grew up, before immigrating to Cambridge Narrows, New Brunswick twenty years ago, after a long lost uncle left him a property. He loves the warm hospitable nature of the Maritimes, and says he was seduced from Britain by the beauty of New Brunswick.
