Bob Hainstock
Bob Hainstock has worked in Atlantic and Western Canada as an artist and journalist for almost four decades. A graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, he is a full time printmaker and painter, and part time instructor in schools, universities and private workshops.
His work frequently explores the increasing contrasts between a shrinking rural culture and swelling urban cultures and between natural and human made environments.
He is an award winning journalist for news stories, feature articles, and photography of rural life. His studio practices include a full range of painting and printmaking techniques. His rust prints have become his unique signature within the printmaking world and also provide an unusual, strong character to his various mixed media series.
