FEATURED ARTIST Shelley Leach


THE DUMOINE ROVER ‘IN PAINT’ Shelley’s future as an artist seemed destined. Born in Kingston, Ont., she grew up in a military family. Her father a career army officer, her mother a landscape/ military artist. Showing a keen interest in the arts, Shelley’s mother taught her the fundamentals of painting at a very young age. By seven Shelley was accompanying Canadian artists in the field. Shelley’s goal is to seek, experience, and record the unique character of the Canadian landscape through artistic impression. In 2008 on a recreational trip, Shelley began to create the first series of oil paintings documenting Quebec’s Dumoine River’s wilderness qualities.

travelled the upper portions of the Dumoine River from Lac Dumoine through to Lac La Forge. The journey into Dumoine was done via logging roads. In 2010 Shelley will fly into the area on a DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver, then travel out by canoe to continue her journey and series of paintings. Over a period of years, and methods of exploration, Shelley hopes to create a series of painting’s that not only document but leave a lasting interpretation of the Dumoine Wilderness for all present and future generations there by granting “access” to all. This is a continuing series. The 2010 expedition to Dumoine is being made possible in part with support of material resources from Trailhead Adventure Sports and The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) through public display of works produced.
