About the Artist:
Dr. DM (Donald McIntosh) Flather was a very talented man who combined his love of the outdoors with his love of art to produce many beautiful artworks from all across Canada and parts of the USA. Donald was a self taught Artist whom first began painting at a young age on small pieces of glass. During his lifetime, he produced some 400 paintings or so (quite a low number for most Painters), which included stunning Canadian landscapes and seascapes from Coast to Coast, the high Arctic (including a Series from Baffin Island) as well as plants and animals. Although a teacher by vocation, he dedicated a great deal of his life (circa 1919-1987) to his painting and developed his own unique style, which has been said to combine elements of French Impressionism and the Group of Seven. In addition, DM Flather was also an accomplished Potter that produced likely hundreds of vases, bowls and so on over the years.

Donald Flather was a colleague of Lawren Harris, founder of the Group of Seven and the two men worked together for several years on the Executive of the Federation of Canadian Artists, of which Donald was an original and founding member in 1941. DM Flather 's artworks are currently widely held by leading Canadian, American, European, Indonesian and Asian Collectors. Continue to read more on Donald's Biography Page...
