emcisaac's Profile

Bio

Born in the culturally rich and beautiful country of Scotland, I was first introduced to art by my grandfather, Robert Samuel McIsaac. We would travel by tram to the world famous Kelvingrove Art Museum in Glasgow and spend many wonderous hours wandering the gallery halls.

My journey through life has allowed me to live in several different countries where I have been profoundly influenced by the different landscapes, cultures and histories. And I just keep moving around and living in my old haunts. How fortunate.

California to me is a dreamland of wild mountainous ranges, surrounded by hilly kingdoms of grassland and woodland. Reminiscent of a savanna flavoured shangri-la. A very sensuous place, all the hills and hummocks immediately suggestive of body shapes and forms. As can be viewed on my website in most of my landscapes http://home.earthlink.net/~emcisaac/index.html

I attempt to capture the excruciatingly beauty of nature surrounding us. The creeping mists, the purest spreads of morning blue to the painful yellow glare of the midday sun, the hot aroma of the earth.
