Derek Caines – Artist Biography
Derek Caines is a Newfoundland artist, born and raised in the province. He studied art at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax. As both a print-maker and a painter, Derek has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Toronto, St. John’s, Ottawa, New York, West Berlin, and Zurich. He has also created an array of limited edition prints and commissioned posters.
Derek returned to Newfoundland in 1989 and has been living in Norris Point, a small community on Bonne Bay in the heart of Gros Morne National Park. His current body of work includes some portraiture but focuses mainly on the striking landscapes of Newfoundland. These oil paintings are marked by iconic Newfoundland imagery such as doreys, fishing boats, coastal sheds, rugged shorelines, and the ever-present sea. Derek’s careful, detailed brush work evokes the simplicity and stark beauty of this extraordinary island.
