About Me
Forced to choose between his interest in art and natural history, Art chose the
latter for his university studies and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, N.B. Canada in 1961 and carried out graduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec for 3 years. He taught at McGill, the University of Victoria, and the University of New Brunswick before establishing a biological supply and consulting business on the New Brunswick shores of the Bay of Fundy in 1964.
His work has included the collection and supply of living marine organisms for schools, universities and research establishments around the world. His consulting activities have been broad and range from the primary development of marine inventories from Newfoundland to Maine, environmental monitoring and mitigation for nuclear power plants, oil refineries, gas pipelines and other industrial developments. He is credited with establishing the first successful commercial Atlantic salmon sea farms at Deer Island, New Brunswick and Eastport, Maine. His professional work has taken him to the United States, Canada, Norway, Thailand and India.
Art has an extensive background in publishing, printing, graphic design and display construction. He has been a commercial illustrator and artist since the early 1950s, has sold numerous paintings and illustrations and has had several shows of his works.
