R E Swirsky

Ray Swirsky is a Calgary based oil painter. Growing up in the small town of Kimberley, BC, Ray has never lost his connection with nature. His love of the mountains and western landscapes can be seen in the bulk of his paintings. He does paint other subject matter such as portrait, still life and action scenes which can all be viewed on his website. Much of his work is commissioned work for clients, a process he loves and enjoys very much.

Ray is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA) and the Alberta Society of Artists (ASA). In his short career, Ray’s work has been well received into many juried exhibitions with works being sold throughout Canada, USA, and the UK.

“I most like to paint landscapes and wildlife from Western Canada, but I am always challenging myself with different material from time to time. If you view my catalogue of work you will find everything from elephants to mountain scenes, still life to portrait, and birch trees to a water bomber over a raging forest fire.”
